In praise of One Shot...

I mixed one tube to one bottle of 91% and will do the 2-1 next time. Even then mine is 3-4 years old, I'm about do tho. Finding a bottle to not clog has been my problem tho.

I just bought the 10oz bottle of alcohol from the pharmacy that had a cheapo sprayer already on it. Add half a tube of lube (1oz) and shake like your life depends on it. It takes a few days of sitting, shaking, repeat to get the thick pasty clump of lube to break up and eventually dissolve. Once it is finally all mixed, you can spray without worry of clogging.

If you needed to use it right away, put the lube in a small cup or bowl and add a little alcohol and mix it well. Add a little alcohol at a time and keep mixing until you have a smooth thin pourable mixture. Pour it all into the bottle and shake.

Oh, I tried the 91% alcohol too. I had to add some water to that also to get the LEE lube to totally dissolve.

I use it too, wet tumbling really cleans brass, which really looks nice but one shot smooths out the progressive pulls.


I finally read the label on the can one day.... sigh... and they do have a statement “after sizing wipe each case to remove remaining lubricant”. I don’t wipe pistol cases, and will see how that works with .223 soon. Good luck.

I improvise a bag out of an old t-shirt, dump them in and roll them around. Works well enough for me.

I fill up a maxwell house coffee container from sams club about half full. hold it at a 45 degree angle and spritz for half a second. rotate container and spritz again, rotate one more time and spritz again. then lid on and roll em' around. Figure I use about a 1.5 second spray per 500 cases in 9mm. I would imagine I get less cases in the can with 44 mag but it's the same operation.

Try a Ziploc bag.
