So, what lube have you switched to?I’ll no longer be using Hornady One Shot as case lube for rifle brass. Had two back to back stuck cases with it.

Wet tumble a batch of brass using Woolite?
What is “lots”?
Are you going to get back 100% of your brass fired from the same rifle with 0% fired from anything else?
Most of my brass comes from either police practice (100% once fired) or 3 gun (majority once fired). I could pick mine out but that takes a lot longer than just processing everything the same.
I size/deprime and trim with a 650.

If a case needs to be trimmed after sizing, it is. If it doesn’t, it’s not. Not a lot of magic just 1000+ cases an hour ready to load.
From there I put the cases into a 1050 where they are swaged as part of the loading process.
If it’s all your stuff and “lots” is a few hundred at a time, that’s a tad overkill though.
I am another that tried one shot but didn’t like it for rifle. The Hornady unique case lube is good but not suited for progressives.
I use Dillon’s case lube.
I’ve use the rcbs lube with pad with good results. I’ve also mixed the RCBS with isopropyl alcohol to make a homemade lube similar to mixing it with lanolin with good results.So, what lube have you switched to?
I’ve seen Dillon carbide dies for various rifle calibers including .223. I’m also thinking of .223 on a progressive and was wondering if anyone had any experience with these? Supposedly you eliminate the lubing step. You’d want your brass clean, and the cost of the dies aren’t for the faint of heart but I’m leaning that way.The spray lubes are much faster to apply, I can lube hundreds of cases in seconds, with them.
