bulk lubing of cass?

[Colin]

Was wondering how people lube their brass in bulk. Was thinking of using a Lee 1000 that I have coming to do .223 Remington. I have a set of Lee Deluxe dies and will neck size the stuff fired in my gun, but have a lot of range brass I want to use that will require full length resizing, any advice is appreciated.

If using a progressive, use a Lube die. If using a single stage, use a spray on lube...Although I'd avoid Hornady One Shot for .223, for some reason it doesn't work well (for me) on .223

x2 on the spray lube. I use the RCBS stuff when I have a bunch to do, works great

a bottle of spray lube will do how many cases approx.?

I go through a bottle a year and load about 5k rounds

Dillon Case Lube works well for me for .223. I haven't had much success with larger cases like .308 and .303, though, as they seem to stick more easily.

I tried the lube spray once , got a couple stuck cases, never tried it again, I only load one at a time and I use the Imperial sizing wax. FS

just wanted to know, I plan on doing some bottleneck pistol cartridges reloading. I can skip the lubing by resizing using 2 sizers, but that means adding 1 crank of the handle per round...

I use about an 8" x 8" tupperware container, spread as many casings around that will fill up the bottom, give 2 or 3 sprays with the RCBS spray lube, put the lid on the container, and shake it around for 20 - 30 seconds, seems to work well, haven't had a stuck case yet using this method, knocks on wood.....

I just use teflube on mine. That stuff works for almost anything. I first lay down a rag or something, and then just spray the lot of them. Mix around a bit, and start sizing.
