Any issues with primer miss fires using one shot? Original aerosol had several miss fires before I started cleaning the cases after sizing. New stuff is not as good as the original. Imperial outside and motor mica inside works well and the case can just be wiped off with a solvent to clean. I clean and lube the dies every 100 or so cases now, this goes a long way to prevent stuck cases. This even with some old dies that went through a flood and didn't look salvageable.

I haven't had any problems with it but I apply it pretty liberally & let it sit long enough to completely dry, & by far, the bulk of the cases I load for are not belted mags.
I do find it feels harder to push the case into the die than the same cases lubed with either Imperial or RCBS lube.
Actually, in most standard calibers, I'm collet neck sizing for the most part.

I'm on about my 12th can, never had a problem yet. Been using it for about 3 years. Been using it pretty much since it first appeared--haven't kept track of the years, it's been quite a few. Never stuck a case or had a misfire. Just follow the instructions on the can. I clean cases in a vibratory cleaner after I resize/deprime them.

I quit using the Hornady spray years ago, it just wasn't up to the job of resizing the brass from my M1A. Switched to Hornady Unique wax, no more stuck cases and much easier. If I ever use up this $3.00 tub I'll try Imperial, but I'm not sure I'll live that long.
I won't go back to sprays, no matter how "convenient" they are.

I love the stuff too. Works great for release agent when glass bedding rifles. Lube for sizing cases, I don't think so...

I have been using it for at least twenty years and never a problem. I do wipe my case with a paper towel and rubbing alcohol after re-sizing to remove any powder or lube residues.

I've probably used a dozen or more cans and never had an issue. I set the cases in load blocks and spray row by row from all four sides at 45 degrees so the inside of the neck gets lubed too. I can lube 200 cases in a matter of min. Last winter I processed over 3500 pieces of LC .223 and .308 without a single stuck case or problem. I just set the load blocks on newspaper or cardboard to keep the overspray off the floor. The blocks get pretty greasy but you can just wash them with dawn or run them through the dishwasher (when the wife isn't looking).

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. Possibly I am not letting it dry long enough.

Duckster, Some guys don't like OneShot, but for large quantities I have found it to be the best thing since sliced bread. You've gotta shake it well before spraying and then have something else to do for a while. I honestly usually wait an hour. I have gotten busy and not resized until the next day with no problems. OneShot is not as slick as Imperial, but it sure is handier.
I do use Imperial when re-forming brass or necking down 308 Lapua to 7mm-08 for example, but when preparing several hundred rounds for a prairie dog shoot, out comes the OneShot. Good luck and always use what works for you.
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.

It makes a good release agent. I switched to imperial wax for sizing

I am betting I just did not wait long enough from what I am reading.

I had to learn not to immediately start reloading with One Shot. If the brass is still wet you'll stick em. Same with the Dillon spray lube, but it doesn't seem to be as critical.

I've resized thousands of cases using Hornady One Shot lube. Never had a single problem. I like to lay out the brass to be resized on a paper towel, lined up side by side, 10-12 per row. A quick shot over the case bodies, then turn 'em all at once a half turn, give them another shot, then a quick shot into the case mouths. It doesn't take much of this stuff to work.

Used it since it came out , never a problem . use as instructed spray cases in a loading tray at a 45 degree angle I did have one problem with one can , it didn't spray out in a "mist" it sprayed in a stream ?? In damn near 30 years of loading I have never stuck any case (with any type of lube) that a stuck case remover was needed , just how hard does one have to push the handle of a press to stick one that bad ?

I used it for quite a while for high volume but then had a couple cases get stuck from a military rifle with large chamber and stopped using it. For the most part it worked OK but I often seemed to be on the ragged edge or not enough lube and sizing force was higher than other lubes. For case forming or tough ones like that military rifle I have always used Imperial. I now use regular Pam for high volume loading. A little goes a long way and it is easy to wash off the cases. I use a wet tumbling method so washing and drying cases is not a big deal for me.
