[QUOTE="DoneNOut, post: 2384217, member: 113404"] One shot is the expense I am willing to pay after trying multiple DIY home made sin concoctions and stuck cases. I haven't stuck a case in 16yrs with it. I spray all 4 sides and the diagonals in a 50ct plastic tray with necks up. I get some spray in the mouths. Wait two 3 minutes before sizing. When I place on the shell holder I rotate the case and use my fingers to rub them down from case mouth to case head. That is about a 2-3 second step. I do this to prevent hydraulic sizing. (I've sized cases with a week-old spray on them too, no problems) I constantly check shoulder bump on fired vs sized cases. I bump .002" from fired state. I have a straight force press, no snap/cam over. I do have to keep my press stroke consistent and feel where I need to stop on the down stroke. Too little pressure on the downstroke, shoulder not bumped enough. Too much pressure on the downstroke and bumped too far. I get .002-.003" bump with my method. Maybe I have worked around the downfall of this lube hydraulically sizing cases, or the issue it creates. I wonder if I were to use a snap/cam over press if I'd loose that ability of feeling where I need to be with the press stroke. Hmmmm. [/QUOTE]
