For those of you who use Hornady One-Shot or other spray on lubes before FL resizing, do you still brush the inside of the case neck? Or call it good with whatever spray over residue gets in there?

I don't use aerosol or spray case lubes, but on new brass I lube case mouths with graphite on a brush or necks and mouths with Redding Imperial dry neck lube and their ceramic bead applicator. For sizing, I use regular Imperial lube applied with finger tips. I worry less about mouths on fired brass, if it hasn't been cleaned and retains carbon residue inside the case mouth so long as runout remains very minimal and seating depth is consistent.

One-Shot sprayed onto a Q-tip then twirled inside the neck. Dip every 2nd or 3rd case into some powdered graphite.

Much prefer the Body Die + Collet Die approach, so I don't have to go thru this BS.

Good post. We all know we all have different routines. I personally only use graphite on a brush for application into the necks of the cases on my new die sets. I also polish the expander ball on my new die sets as well. If at any time I feel the expander dragging through the necks with too much resistance, I'll re-polish and treat with graphite again. Otherwise it is unnecessary. I rarely use it. I also don't use Hornady one shot for sizing, but it works damn well for release agent when I'm glass bedding my new to me rifles. As with anything reloading related, KISS... That is my motto. Anything you do that is unnecessary and excessively wastes time and affects efficiency is called being stupid. I don't like stupid.. Some of you guys do.. Keep schidt simple, keep it consistent and load accurate ammo. If you are not loading very accurate ammo in a short amount of time, you are doing something wrong..

Graphite necks and Queen Helene, a cheap women's lotion containing lanolin and cocoa butter, on the case body, applied by rolling cases lightly on a piece of saturated foam. Wipe cases with a paper towel after sizing. Works like a top.

Ha, sometimes when you are seeing an issue on target or performance then going out of the norm and doing unnecessary sh*t is warranted. Also unnecessary sh*t can be easier than coming on here, asking a simple question and seeing that simple question turned into a sh*t show while never getting a simple answer or being called or have it inferred that you are stupid. BTDT.

I have a RCBS handle that I screw a bore mop on.Then I put about a quarter inch of powdered graphite in a tall medicine bottle.I had to cut a hole in the lid because the brush and handle was a little long.I works great for lubing the inside of the necks,

I use the Imperial wax on the lower half of the cases. Put a very little on my fingertips every 2-3 cases, then rub it on the bottom half of the cases. Then I dip the case neck in the Imperial media beads that has dry graphite powder in it. This combo does a great job, doesn’t gummy up the dies, and the cases never get stuck.
