I over sprayed case lube on 500 rds. of .45acp brass, let brass dry for over 20 mins. poured into reloader hopper and noticed when I tried a powder weight check the powder was sticking to the case wall, called Dillon's 800 # and they said it was ok and they would fire with no problem.......?

I had approx. 1.4 grains +/- of Win.231 stuck inside cases, sounds like moist powder to me, unless the Lanolin won't bother the burning of the powder ? Can't wait to shoot this batch.SS

you don't have to lube pistol brass to run it through the press. If you do lube it though you will have to load in two stages cleaning between size/deprime and loading. Also after you size/deprime your rifle brass you need to run it through the tubmler again to get the lube off.

or use Hornady One Shot and you dont have to worry about cleaning the lube off....

Are you using carbide dies?

[SkunkSlayer]

Yes using carbide Dillon dies, just tried for first time due to reading these below directions from page #9 from XL 650 manual, Dillon wants to sell case lube. I won't be using any more on pistol brass. SS

LUBRICATING BRASS

To lubricate brass, use “Dillon Case

Lubricant” (#13733).

Pistol

– If you’re using a carbide sizing

die, you will not need to lubricate your

cases (before sizing) when loading straightwalled

cases. If you’re not using a carbide

sizing die, you must lube the brass before

sizing. We do, however, recommend lubricating

all brass.

Thanks for the info.

I use hornady one shot with my .30 carbine carbide dies as it makes it a hell of a lot easier.

The powder does stick a little to the sides, but never had any problems so far and the rife / ammo is wickedly accurate.

I continued to make these bullets with the lanolin soaked insides and stuck a dry case in to check powder weight several times through process.

Took 100 rounds to range 12-13-09 and I shot all of them without any miss fires. Was relieved to see I wasn't going to have to take apart all these rds and start over, they will shoot with moist mixed powder. I know that using carbide dies and pistol brass it's not needed to be lubed but it sure was effortless with it on them, I first thought something broke on press it was moving so smoothly. SS
