Exactly what i do with one shot and never a stuck case. I reload 223 just like pistol so I dont have to tumble twice and I believe one shot is the only lube that doesn't affect powderIn my opinion, this is the best way to use a spray lube:
Get a heavy duty ziplock like a freezer bag and give it a heavy spraying inside
Rub the bag around from the outside until the alcohol evaporates
Put your brass inside, squeeze the air out, seal it, and "massage" the brass
If you reuse the same bag over and over again, the lube builds up and you can use a lot less. You can also put thr brass in the bag and spray the lube in with the brass inside, but sometimes it gets trapped inside the cases and doesn't dry as well or makes the powder stick to the case neck.
I didn't get mine that stuck, but when I first started it was the hornady lube that got me in trouble.Hornady One Shot is the only lube with which I got a case stuck so badly I had to discard the die. Maybe it will work in applications that don't demand too much but I will never use it again.
This gave me a chuckle.Home made and never even came close to an issue. In fact it's so good I just throw the die in the bucket and they size themselves.
