Here’s a pic of after 50 rounds cleaned with said rag. That goes into your chamber and is forced to the walls with high temp. Is your chamber unnecessarily dirty?

That one shot stuff makes a huge mess and you get it inside your neck.. not to mention case dents and deformities from too much lube! I have a can of imperial from the early 2000’s that still has some left in it and have loaded 1,000’s of rounds with it. Last edited by TAB; 01/19/25 12:14 AM.

I see negative comments about it all the time, stuck cases, dents etc. leads me to believe some folks blame misuse on the product. They say you don’t need to clean but they didn’t say I would hurt if you did. I wear an old t-shirt when loading, but my mom cringes but I while off cases using the shirt as I size.

Good try but a swing and a miss.......been making very accurate ammo for about 15 years like that. It's not that hard.

And I've told the owners you get to put the butt of your rifle on the ground and stomp on the bolt handle with your boot. One of two things is going to happen. The bolt is going to open, or the bolt handle is going to break off. I always enjoy the "number of years loading" answer. What really matters is the number of rounds loaded. Many, if not most, competitive shooters size with a .002" to .003" shoulder bump. It retains the fire formed properties, it will chamber, it will eject. Hornady One Shot has worked well for me. I bought some case lube off a Sniper's Hide member. It is pure lanolin you cut with alcohol. He was sizing .50 BMG brass and found that was the most reliable. It's been the best I've ever used. 800 Yard Steel Range Precision Rifle Instruction Memberships and Classes Available

What's laughable is you believing you're the only human on the planet that knows how to make accurate ammo. In spite of what your ego tells you it's not exactly rocket science to neck size your brass then chamber/eject them to make sure all is well. Give me a freaking break.

You will get dented shoulders with any of them if you use too much. You can stick a case with any of them if you don’t use enough. Once you find your groove you won’t do either if you are paying attention. I use One Shot most of the three because I find it to be a time saver loading batches of 50 or more.

Go for it. Some people have to be run over by the truck themselves before they learn to look both ways before they cross the street. No skin off my nose. I told my son, most fairly intelligent people learn from their mistakes. The truly brilliant learn from someone else's.

I’ve seen plenty of people mess up the process using FL sizing dies that wind up with ammo that doesn’t chamber. JG have you ever neck sized and stuck a case personally? It's hell eatin em live

But, I've been in the presence of over a million rifle rounds fired. Be them at my rifle range, rifle matches, and on hunts. Every time a case was stuck, the hand loader had been neck sizing the brass. I was reloading for a tight chamber. With the die bottomed out, I still could not drive the shoulder back. I went as far as chucking that die in the lathe and facing a few thousandths off the end of the die 800 Yard Steel Range Precision Rifle Instruction Memberships and Classes Available

Some people apparently need to pay people like Chad to do it, or buy factory ammo. In any case, a semi retarded person should know he can chamber/eject his brass after sizing/neck sizing to make sure they work. My son learned that when he was 10 yrs old.

And when I was using Hornady One Shot, it worked just fine. 800 Yard Steel Range Precision Rifle Instruction Memberships and Classes Available
