Dry spray silicone ok to lube?

[Caliber]

I tried some dry spray silicone spray to lube some cases and it worked well, any reason why I should not? Any harm to brass? Should I clean brass after? Any experiences using it?

I wouldn't use it for rifle cases but I do use spray teflon for handgun brass, I know, I know its not required but it does ease the step of resizing cases, and keeps arthur in my wrists and hands quiet.

I used it on pistol cases just to help the carbide along.. I use one shot on my rifle cases.

Too many cases of stuck cases using OneShot for making me happy. Probably from not being used correctly but its not that big a deal to use Unique or Mink oil boot wax.

I even use bag balm on my 30-06 cases and its great.. On the one shot you have to spray the inside of the neck of the case also. I use a good spray on one side of the cases loaded in a block and then the other. Then a 45 angle over the top to catch the inside mouths.

Any other household/auto spray lubricants that can be used to lube cases. I would tumble after sizing to remove lube. I just think that a large can of silicone based lube is cheaper than a small spray can of oneshot or lube spray.

Anything that works, works. Spray silicon won't do a thing to harm brass.

Have never seen "dry" silicone, "dry" teflon yes but silicone?

I have been leaving RCBS case lube on my 9mm cases. Even though I am using a carbide sizing die on my Dillion 550B, these lubed cases glide in the die and don't bump powder out of the powder horn.

I don't tumble the lube off , the rounds feed and extract just fine.

Silicone should be pretty inert in terms of brass, it will cut down on the friction in the chamber, should not hurt a thing.

Unless it duds primers.
