commercial reloaders

[bloodman]

I read of all the different ways to lube a rifle case, but how does the commercial reloader do it?

 

[Leo]

I think true commercial loaders, and big volume reloaders actually roll size the brass, rather than die size, so no lube is needed.

 

[Aszerigan]

It depends on what caliber, and how the brass was fired. From my experience:

Mil brass - 30 caliber +, Hornady Tub lube (Lard lube)

Bolt gun brass - 308 caliber, Hornady One Shot Spray

Bolt gun brass - .30 cal other, RCBS bottle lube

Mil Brass - .223 caliber, Hornady One Shot Spray

Anything larger than .30 cal, tub lube it. Period.

Hope this helps.
