hornady one shot lube issues

[DFBrews]

I picked up a bottle of the hornandy one shot a while back because I heard pretty good things about it. I pulled apart my die and cleaned it and basically followed all the directions to the T. It worked fine for a few rounds and than became super hard to fully size the .223 cleaned the die again but this time it was hard right off the bat borderline ripping the press from my el cheapo table. Switched to the Lee sizing lube and it is smooth as normal? What am I missing?

On a side note finally got the turret press fully set up and ran it for the first time auto indexing it is kinda fickle. started with OAL issues again still trying to get them worked out. than found out if you do a full lever pull on the press with the rifle charging die you will crush the case

One of those days where it is probably safer to not reload.

One Shot is marginal for 223 brass if you are not using a carbide size die.

Stick to normal lube if you dont want to spring for a carbide size die.

Serious truth in this. If you disregard it, you are going to eventually get a case stuck, probably ruin the die, and have to get a new one anyway. Get a new carbide die. It's worth it for 223. You still have to lube, but a ton less swearing involved.

Hoser or SA which carbide die would you suggest? this purchase would not be immediate but possible in the next couple months. The Dillion ones look fairly reasonable

[Hoser]

Go with the Dillon Carbide. Without a doubt.

If you don't want to spring for the carbide die, go back to using your old lube. Hornady One Shot sucks. I tried using it in their dies with .223 and had stuck case after stuck case. Never again will I use Hornady dies or lube.

Still love their bullets though.

One shot is great for straight walled brass!! But when it comes to tappered brass .223, .308. etc. I use RCBS case lube. Never had a problem! As for Dies, Hoser is right, but they can be $$$ for Dillon. But middle of the road I use again RCBS little more expensive than the standard RCBS dies but well worth it.

Mobile One Synthetic.

$3.00 a quart = lifetime supply.

I had some one shot. I used it for a season, then came back to it and had the same experience. Stuck case twice on 7mag. Now using rcbs lube pad and tumbling off lube after loading.

Oil is tough on primers and powder and hard to work with when loading on a progressive.
