One shot Spray

You should give it away. I'll send you my address. Actually it's the only lube I use.

It's fine for pistol cartridges (where it's not actually necessary). For rifle cartridges, it might as well be glue.

This is exactly how I feel. Works great on pistol cases run through a progressive. Won't ever use it again on a rifle case.

It's a case lube. Like most other things, if it's "good" or "bad" depends on the users ability to read and follow instructions.

I have used it to reload .223 ammo and have never had a problem. Super easy to use.

Works good for me for either rifle or pistol.

I use it,but one thing you have to do is shake it up REALLY good and then let the cases set long enough before trying to reload them.
Used on pistol and rifle and no problem's

This year i will re-load about 15,000 rounds of centerfire rifle ammo. i have used One Shot exclusively for many years. It works well for magnum rifle cases when used properly. You have to shake it up really well before using.

i have no idea how it works when used in a progressive press.

I just started using it when I bought a lock n load ap I think it's better than sliced bread lots less messy than a pad lube. I have only used it on 223 rifle so far but it works great!!

As previously stated One Stuck works well for pistol cases, and really well when using carbide dies for pistol cases where no lube is needed. For rifle cases, Imperial sizing die wax is a much better choice.

Did you get the liquid spray bottle or the spray can airosol version. I understand that some do have problems, mostly with the liquid version.

I find the spray can airosol works well for me on both pistol and rifle cartridges. My rifle usage is limited to 30-06 though, so maybe there are tougher ones out there. As others have stated, shake well before spraying and then let it dry for a minute or two, and you shouldn't have issues. I haven't used the messy, lube pads in years.

I could never get the aerosol One Shot to work. It always seem to not have enough lubricant on the cases. Drying time is very important. Not enough and the carrier has not flashed off enough and the case will act like it is not lubricated.

Also, standing the cases on end and spraying them seems to be a bit wasteful and inefficient application.

Recently, I have been working with lanolin/alcohol lubricant mix putting the cases in a Zip Loc, spraying the cases and shaking the bag. After a few trials and errors to figure out how much lubricant to add, it works pretty well. I have been experimenting with 204 Ruger and 300 BLK cases.

Using One Shot in this manner would probably work fine.

So, food for thought.

Exactly! I've used it thousands of times without a problem. I stand my rifle cases up on a block and give them a good spray, let it dry a bit and get after it. Shake it (the spray) well and during spraying too.

Hornady One Shot got me several stuck cases and a ruined die. I'll never use it again.

If you have some you wish to use up, apply it generously and size the cases while still wet.

That's some serious reloading alsaqr...more than 41 rounds every day for a year!

Anyway, do you consider One Shot the best out there and why? I've loaded some pistol and am ramping up to load rifle (300 Savage) for the first time. I think I already know your answer

And that's why you stuck cases and ruined your die. If you try to size before it dries you will stick the case every time.

I apply a quick spritz of One Shot to pistol brass to ease resizing even with carbide dies.

I apply a good squirt to rifle cases going back in the same gun that I do not neck size.

I stuck a sprayed case when sizing mixed brass so stuff like that or necking down .45-70 to .40-65 or .33 WCF gets Imperial Wax or the old gooey RCBS stuff.

If you actually read and follow the directions, the stuff works great.

I started using one shot years ago. I have managed to stick 2 cases, both .223, over the years. I stuck one right off the bat by not letting the carrier flash off enough. Fast forward to 3 weeks ago and I did the same thing. It was cold in the shop and the carrier was slow to flash off. Note to self: allow twice as long a wait when cold as on a warm day.

I didn't have any problem removing the case from the die either time. I'll continue to use one shot. Anything beats that RCBS goo and I threw it and the pad away long ago.

By the way, common Johnson'a paste wax works for case lube as good as anything you will find.

LET IT DRY to the touch and you won't have any problems, 03fatboy ,bainter1212 knows!

I use to use it but some that did not work had stuck shells got 2 cans and both was bad. I have went to RCBS for the last 20 years and have never had a stuck brass. I like the pump spray bottle.

Hornady markets a bunch of products under the 'One Shot' name these days. Just to be clear, everybody is talking about their case lube that comes in a red aerosol spray can with a black lid, and not the can with the red lid and black label, right?

Works fine if you follow the directions. I only use it for 357sig though.

With all the problems I read about the one shot spray I opted to go with the RCBS spray lube when I was trying to get away from the lube pad. The RCBS works great, throw some cases in a zip lock, shake the spray, squirt a few squirts in the bag and roll the brass around. It doesn't seem to care if you open the bag and start sizing or wait a few minutes before starting. Why would anyone want to spend the time standing cases on end just to spray them, if I had to do that I would have stuck with the lube pad. With the RCBS spray I can put 500 223 cases in the bag, lube them in about 2 minutes and go to town resizing. From the first case to the last they go through the die just fine. The spray works with 223 to 7mm Rem Mag cases.
