Hey folks,
Rifleman said, "Hate pads, clumsy, messy, slow." He sure is right about case lube pads being messy. With the old RCBS case lube I use, they are also sticky. I hate messy and sticky.
However, while using my messy and sticky case lube pad, I only ever had a few stuck cases using a lube pad, and that was in the first year or so of reloading. Many years later when I tried the spray lube stuff, I had more stuck cases than I ever did with the old lube pad.
I did find stuck cases seemed to go away as long as I used enough spray, and I do not ever remember a lube dent with spray. I still get an occasional lube dent with the lube pad, but that is really pretty unusual. I think once you learn how to properly use the lube pad, you can pretty much eliminate stuck cases and avoid lube dents.
I hate messy and sticky, but I learned a long time ago how to avoid stuck cases with the lube pad, and I'll "stick" with it.
Best wishes,
Dave Wile
