i bought some imperial dry lube today since i have heard it is pretty good stuff. i was wondering if i needed to add some shot to it. i had seen in a couple pictures when i was reading about the 6-284 being sized and all that these guys had some shot in with thier imperial.
I bought some and it still sits in a box hardly used. The graphite was messy usualy had black dust all over the place. IMO it didn't work worth a crap, all I ever saw was the black dust/grim build up in my dies. The dust grim also sat in the cases. Forester makes a neck lubicator that uses motomicra, and I thought it works a bit better. I also made my own by getting a small jar placing some #7 1/2 shot in it, and filling it with Moly, I found it works much better.
should i be ok with hornady one shot since thats what i usually use when popping primers and necking brass or should i get something else. i just want to be able to take the 6.5-284 brass and run it through the fl die and have 6-284 with out a stuck cartridge
I dont think you have much to wory about. I use either hornady or imoerial wax, and never had a problem.
I was told that the way imperal got there start was they started making lube, it is part tolite gasket ring, vasoline, and a few other things, they packed it in imperial margarine cups, and the name stuck. Everyone called it the imperial wax, and the rest is history.
ok well ill try the hornady then
toilet gasket :D
Hopefully new ones! No place for recycling here! :DQuote:

Keep the imperial handy for when you have a stuck case or two with the hornady one shot. Not if, but when. One shot isn't as good as it use to be.
I like the Hornady wax and I like Justin's idea about toilet wax rings also.
I need to try that. They're only about $4 each and it's alot of wax.
Hornady one shot wax or the Lee tube 'o stuff works good, also. The lee lube can be loosened up with a drop or two of water to make it easier to apply & stretch it when you get low.
Size All is another good one if you like aerosol lude.
Bought the One Shot to neck some 300 Weatherby down to 7-300 Weatherby. Followed directions to the letter. After the first few cases chattering through the die, I went back to the Imperial - Wow! What a difference!Quote:

You can make your own dry lube applicator system easily. Simply get some powdered graphite, or-better yet, get some Molybdenum Disulfide powder. Then get a small tin, fill it. not quite full, with #6 or #7.5 shot and then add enough powder to make it work.
I am fond of applying a small amount of regular Imperial to the inside of my case necks with a Q-Tip. It is a little more work, but then at the same time, I inspect the necks for cracks, etc. The stuff washed off with hot water and Dawn diswashing detergent.
you are lubing the inside and outside of your cases then?Quote:
