No problems here, I even clean and spray my dies. Only case that I have stuck was a berdan primed 7.62x54R that snuck in.

Imperial all the way for me. Only Use for Horn One Shot is release agent. I'm just not in that big a hurry when I reload....

I did notice some of these "streaks" on the brass that I was sizing. Maybe the die is dirty or is there a different cause? Brass has been fired once

Carb cleaner or just simply clean them like you would a rifle barrel.

Break cleaner and compressed air for me. Just dissasemble them first. Maybe a q-tip too.

Had several primer miss fires today where I used Hornady One shot. Will try same rifle and primers with Imperial wax and see if it occurs again. 3 miss fires out of 10 fired primer looked like it should have fired tried several times.

How are you getting OneShot on your primers? I spray cases sitting in a tray, primer pocket down, spray at a 45 degree angle. Let it dry, and resize. Never had a FTF in the years I've used it. But, you have to let it dry.
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.

You're not supposed to spray the One Shot on the primers!?! What exactly are you doing to size your cases anyway?

Spraying all angles, with One Shot, cases upright, letting case dry resizing, then putting new primers in. Experienced misfires last range session 3 in 10 shots? Pulled bullet, dumped powder, replaced primer, and test fired primer ignited first strike?
Don't know what think other than One shot causing misfire? Only thing different is ambient temp was 25F when misfire occurred and 68 F testing primer.
Bolt and firing pin oil free and have had no issues in past. MRC action, Rem 9 1/2 primer. Have read of others having misfires with One Shot which is why I asked the question.

I really don't think it is possible that One Shot is causing the misfires.
Are you full-length resizing? Creating too much headspace which then pushes the case forward upon hitting it with the firing pin.

When Imperial Case Wax exists, I really dont know what the point of any other case lube is.

I didn't care for one shot lube. I gave it one shot and I was done. "pun intended"
Nice to know it works well for release agent. I'll have to try it.

The only time in my life that I've stuck cases in a die was using OneShot as directed. I like how it dries but I will stick with Imperial and Pam going forward. I wish Imperial came in a liquid/spray form for use in a progressive press.

Dakota deer cases are resized for my rifle with a slight crush on bolt closing.
Which is why I checked using same unresized case that did not fire, same cartridge headspace.
Others had experienced one shot and primer misfires which made me suspect it.
