Case lube fail

I can’t even imagine my wife’s reaction if I put that goo in her Vitamix

Yeah, I'd have to use a garage sale find for such experiments, myself.

Unique was my long time favorite; only drawback is it is time consuming to rub each case to lube it and then removal is tedious as well. The spray is much quicker on both ends.

I whole heartily disagree. I can touch unique with one finger and lube a case, then using a Q-tip put a touch inside the neck of an 30.06 case and de-prime and resize it instantly. I keep a piece of paper towel near by wipe the case quickly and then do another. With One Shot a bunch have to be put straight up in a plastic whip cream bowl, sprayed evenly and then allow to dry or allow the aerosol to evaporate off for a minute or two before resizing otherwise it will cause the shoulders to dent. Even with spraying a bunch at a time, it's much faster and safer with Unique.

Understand the process w/Unique; used it for years, but I generally load 30-06 in lots of 100 cases or more/session. With the home brew, I just dump the brass in a rectangular Tupperware type plastic container about 3" x 13" x 7" spray a couple of squirts w/hand pump bottle, put lid on box and shake it up pretty well. Let is sit a few minutes while I load a couple of tubes of primers and set out a box of bullets for the Dillon and its game on. Lay the loaded rounds out on an old towel and stir to remove lanolin. Can't get much simpler than that.

Gotta say, I never stuck a case with either the Unique or home brew either, spray is just quicker.
