Going to be loading some .308 Winchester in the near future. Guess it's time I bought an aerosol can of One Shot and gave it a try. Some guys like yourself have no problems while others have a nightmare on reloading street.I’ve been asking around for several years now to try to understand what guys could be doing wrong with Hornady One Shot which yields stuck cases. I lube and size all of my rifle brass with One Shot, for something around 13-14 years now, even including case forming. I rack a hundred or four hundred brass, spray the necks from two sides, dump the racks and tumble for about 30 seconds by shaking the tub - and then immediately start sizing. Hundreds of thousands of rifle rounds, without sticking a case. I wasted time for over a decade before that to clean Lube from cases while using different products like Imperial, Unique, homemade lanolin recipes, Lee, RCBS, and frankly, I just don’t see the productivity in it - it’s a time-sucking process step dictated by choosing the wrong lube products.
I often wonder if the guys which report trouble with One Shot are using the One Shot Gun Cleaner and Lube (black can, red lid) instead of the One Shot Case Lube (red can, black lid). Because otherwise, I really can’t figure out how guys creating failures with the product.
On a side note all of the RCBS aerosol cans I am using go back to early 90s. They still work fine. I also had a pile of the little RCBS pump sprays and every one of them the alcohol evaporated leaving only a small powdery residue in the plastic pump spray bottles. I kept the little pump spray bottles in case I start rolling my own.
