My search fuu is probably weak.

The situation: When the 650 doesn't dump powder into the case, i will just pull the case out, drop it into a bin of primed brass. The plan is to pull the decapping pin and run them through the machine and load.

The question: Will one-shot affect the primers if used properly? Some of the cases were primed 9 months ago and should be relubed before running them through.

Thanks in advance.

No

I think one of the main features of one-shot is that it claims not to effect primers.

I would probably use the pad method to lube them...spray a folded paper towel with one shot and give them a rub.

A thread title search for "case lube" in all the reloading forums returns a lot of good stuff:

The quick method I use which coats the outside without getting inside the case:

Spray the lube into a gallon size ziplock bag.

Drop in two large handfuls of brass.

Seal, rotate, agitate for 10 seconds.

Unseal, pour lubed brass into machine.

Ed,

All I do with cases that don't get a powder charge is set them aside and load them at the end of the session. There really is no need to re-size them. After I have used the last primers in the machine, I manually insert them into station 2 to pick up the charge. If I am feeling really anal, I will size a case for each pull of the handle and swap the sized case for a primed case at station 2.

But, if you do set them aside for a later date, the lube is not going anywhere. I don't think you need to re-lube.

Later,
Chuck

Thanks all. I assumed as much, but wanted to confirm.

Brian, I did search, but was definitely more narrow than yours.

If it's pistol brass, they don't need more lube. They have been sized once, the next trip thru the die will go easier. Just run them as is.
