Good evening,
Has anyone ever had any trouble with Hornady One Shot lube as far as requiring excessive force to close or open with a FL RCBS die? I have been using One Shot for a couple of years but the last couple of batches that I have done seem to be quite sticky so for kicks today I went back to RCBS lube on a pad for a load of .325 WSM that I was doing for a friend. WAY easier to resize.
Does One Shot get old? My can might be a couple of years old.

I quit using the Hornady One shot and went to the Imperial Sizing Wax. Since then, zero issues with stuck cases, etc.

I kind of hated how the RCBS lube was kind of greasy, but I have had a couple of stuck cases in the last few months.

I have a can of it and it makes sizing way tougher than it should be I went to Lee sizing paste and no issues. I do use the one shot to spray brass that I'm storing it helps with tarnish.

Long time ago I was using Lyman spray and got low so I bought some Hornady. I did not like it and gave it away, I think, anyway it is gone. I use the RCBS pad or a Lee collet. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I was in a pinch once. And used CLP Break free from safari land and it worked very well. Sizing was like using Lee paste.

I use nothing but Hornady One Shot for Years and never had a problem

It works well for bedding release and corrosion protection for steel, so I wouldn't toss it.

I used it with no problems in the spray can, then I bought the big spray bottle and the pump did not work too well, plus it has a wide, heavy spray pattern had some dented shoulders after sizing. Gonna have to try a different spray bottle.

I've used OneShot for several years. If you shake it well before use, then let it dry completely (sometimes as long as an hour, sometimes it might be the next day) no problems. But it must be dry or you get dented shoulders and if still wet it will stick a case. Did I say shake it well.......? My experience with it anyway.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Years of using One Shot with no issues here.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Only stuck cases I have ever had were with One Shot. I find you need to use more of it than other brands. I swore it off for some time but have since tried it again with 100% success.
Imperial is my favorite of all but way too slow.

I stuck some cases until I learned to shake the crap out of the rattle can several times and letting it set upside down before using it. Other than that it works quite well for me. I spray and then roll the cases over a wet cloth. I let them set before sizing while I trim, etc the previous 7 seven sized cases. jmho Tim

I've had great luck with one shot in the aerosol can. I did have bad luck with it in a pump spray bottle so I don't use it anymore. I spray the dies before resizing and then spray 200 cases at a time in load blocks. I haven't found anything faster or easier for large quantities of brass. After resizing, I tumble the brass for an hour or so in corn cob media to remove the lube.

I've had good luck with One-shot. The secret to using it is to read and follow the directions. I spray my cases upside down. Then after drying turn them over and spray again. Allowing 4 or 5 minutes to dry before resizing. Imperial is my old favorite. I use Imperial for small sessions. 20 rds. or less.
