Where the heck did I put that—

[kings6]

For the most part I stopped hunting with a rifle about 34 years ago when I lost my father. He was my best friend, Best man at my wedding and the man who taught the value of heading into the thick stuff and listening and creeping along still hunting. Once he was gone a couple of friends introduced me to traditional archery so that became my hunting method of choice. After the first 3 shoulder surgeries I realized I could no longer shot my bows the 5-6 day’s a week it took to keep my instinctive shooting skills to the level they needed to be so I switched to handgun hunting since it required a similar dedication to up close hunting. Along with this came the use of carbide dies for reloading straight wall revolver cases. Fast forward 15 years to the present and I realize I need to load up a couple boxes of 7 mag rounds for my son to use in his upcoming Colorado elk hunt. Hummmm, what is different about loading these bottleneck pieces if brass? Oh ya, I have to lube the cases before resizing! Now where did that lube pad and lube go when I put it up last time I used it 30 years ago? Needless to say since my reloading place has had several different homes since then I had to admit defeat and go buy a new lube pad and bottle of lube🙁 I just can’t figure out why I can’t remember where I put the old ones 30 years ago!

Seems like I can remember where I put stuff 10 years ago. Yesterday, half hour ago, not so much.

DROPPED THE LUBE PAD USE EONS AGO AND SWITCHED TO SPRAY WAX LUBE. ALSO USE ON CASES TO BE SIZED WITH A CARBIDE DIE. IT LESSENS THE EFFORT REQUIRED WHICH CAN MEAN A LOT WHEN LOADING HUNDREDS OF ROUNDS. ALSO CANNOT HARM PRIMERS.

JT,

How do you (or do you) remove the spay lube from hundreds of pistol cases?

Thanks,

Paul

[kings6]

I couldn’t find the spray lube either JT!

[clintsfolly]

The fastest way to find the old one is to buy a new one! 😂✌️

[lscg]

I've always used the Hornady one shot lube. really great stuff. I do still use my dad's old RCBS lube pad though. the lid makes a great stand for when I'm zeroing my Dillon balance beam scale lol.

[clintsfolly]

They make two types of Hornady One Shot. One is water base and has to be removed or it will tarnish cases. The other is wax/oil base and can be left on. The water base is not as good as it has a small window of use. To soon and stuck cases to later the same!

Hornady Unique case lube.... apply with fingers....Great Stuff! CRS is the cause of many misplaced things and a reason for owning several of the same things.

I DON'T. NO NEED TO.

[paul105]

Perfect. Thank you!

I have only ever used the Dillon lanolin stuff (the bottle I am using now I think I bought in 1994). I use it on 44 mag every time too, not just rifle cases. No need to remove it.

Neck sizing only for me anymore. A dab of Imperial wax for the occasional tough job sans carbides is the only lubing I do these days. Don't miss it for a second! Reckon I still know where that stupid lube pad is tho. Want me to mail it to ya?
