[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3259117, member: 29706"] So I figured a few of us out there have developed something no tin the manual that works really well and makes things faster. Well maybe we can start sharing them and see what others think. I don't want to see some reply saying "that's wrong" or "that won't work" etc. I would also say that anything in this thread is attempted at your own risk just for liability sake. If you don't think it will work or is wrong move on. If it's an absolute danger fine you can state your opinion but if you want to discuss it further do so in another thread. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I will start off. I think it's pretty simple and saves a TON of time if you are dealing with something that needs to be lubed and it's not in any books. Cooking spray. It's a light oil that can coat most anything. I take the dirty cases that need to be full length resized and decapped and toss them in a bucket and give them a couple shots. Toss around and spray a couple more times. I only do what I will process in that day and run single stage so I go through them all. Before I was using Lee case lube and dealing with one case at a time so this saves me a ton of time and work.
