rcbs spray case lube ?

[rebs]

I have been using the rcbs lube pad and I am thinking about trying the rcbs spray lube.
Is anyone using it or have any experience with the spray lube ?

I've used both kinds of the RCBS spray.
The red can aerosol is fine, but the "green eco-friendly" pump spray is utter rubbish.

I've had no problems with the eco friendly pump spray from RCBS. Works fine.

I found an old jar of Hodgedon's case lube in the basement and decided to give it a try. Just put a lille on your first 2 fingers and thumb, pick up a case rub and size. It worked great. No putting the cases in a loading block or bag to spray, only handle the cases one time.

The Green spray pump works fine, it is basically lanolin and alcohol. The "Frankford Arsenal" Midway brand works exactly the same for me for cheaper.

I use it and like it.

Put the brass in a coffee can or similar tub,spray alittle,then shake it around a bit,spray a little more,shake some more.I can tell by feeling the brass when it all has some,just enough,not too much.

Then give it at least 10 minutes to rest.The alchohol needs to evaporate ,or you may get a stuck case.

Sorry, you're right. I was thinking of the Hornady aerosol & pumps. The RCBS is nice stuff.

I have tried a few different spray lubes, I wound up going back to the regular RCBS pad lube "Case Lube-2" it makes re-sizing the easiest out of anything I have tried.

I have used the spray and I don't care for it. I don't like overspray, clogged nozzles, losing pressure charge.
Bottle & lube pad is my only choice.

Cost effective, large can lasts a while, will constantly keep your dies in great condition

Ive been using it for years. Work like a charm!

[rebs]

I had to try it, I bought 4 oz of lanolin and a 12oz bottle of iso heet and mixed it up using 3 tbs of lanolin to the 12 oz of iso heet. I really like it a lot. I dump the cases in a tupperwear container and spray, shake them around a little and setup my press, then the cases are ready and they size with no effort at all.

All commercial case lubes work right if they're applied and used right. Each type obviously has its fans.

Choose your lube based on your prefered method of application; pad, spray or finger tips; your preference may be different from mine.

rebs: Glad to hear you tried it. I saw the you tube: Reloading Case Lube - how to make it yourself CHEAP! at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0117UuXiSS4 using lanolin and ISO Heet.
-
Do you use it before you decap and resize THEN clean your brass? Or do you clean your brass first then spray it on and after you have done your entire load, wipe off the brass? Curious to know your order if you don't mind?
-
ps: use nitrile gloves, cheap at harbor freight. Have no idea what all is in Heet. But I have seen enough misery as an ex-emt with those struggling with cancer to take precautions. I wear them when I do anything chemically. Except for those non-chemical candy bars, McD's shakes, etc, etc.

iso heet is 99% alcohol and 1% inert ingredient, I believe it is water.
When I come home from the range I put my cases in a vibratory case cleaner with crushed english walnut shells, then I spray them with the case lube and size and decap them.Then I place them on a towel and roll them around to remove the case lube, then I prime them with an rcbs hand primer and they are ready to load.
I clean them when I get home4 from the range to avoid any dirt or anything from getting into my sizing die and possible scratching it.
This is so quick and easy and it takes no effort at all to size the brass. I use the caselube on all rifle brass, not on pistol brass becuse those dies are carbide and need no lubricating.

I buy the iso heet from walmart and the lanolin from pipingrock.com, they do not charge any shipping.

Works great, way less messy than the pad.

Dump your brass into a plastic baggie. Spritz a bit of spray lube in. Tumble the baggie for a few seconds. That should be enough.

Years back I asked RCBS support, and they told me that it is powder and primer safe.

Thanks. Also for supplying the lanolin url.
Just ordered the lanolin:
Liquid lanolin $5.49 on sale from pipingrock.com @ $3.95 shipping.
I ordered 4 since the shipping was the same cost. Works out to about $6 each.

[BuckRub]

Come on, the RCBS lube pad is great stuff. But one small bottle and it'll last for years and even when you load thousands and year.

[rebs]

I must have bought it at the right time 5.49 and free shipping..

[bt380]

rebs...still a good deal. Looking around didn't lead me to cheaper prices. I have no complaint. Thanks again.

[rebs]

bt380, I think you are really going to like this lube. When you first use it you have get a feel for how many sprays, I started with 4 sprays on about 100 rounds and it was too much. I now use only 2 sprays and then shake the cases up good.

[bt380]

Thanks for the tip rebs.

Personally I like the Hornady stuff that comes in a tub, dab a bit of it on my finger and wipe the case just before putting it in to be sized. Very quick, no mess.
