Subject: So spray case lube won't contaminate.
Posted: 05 August 2014 at 9:15pm
I lube my cases with RCBS lube dissolved in denatured alcohol in a spray bottle. I put my cases in a bowl, give them.a couple squirts t and roll them around. Then, I shake the bowl to turn them up and spray over the tops to lube inside the case mouths. I do my sizing and put the casings into lemon juice diluted with water. I let them sit over night, shaking the bucket occasionally to keep things stirred up and loosen the fouling. The next morning, I pull them out of the solution and rinse them in a butter bowl with hot water and dawn dish soap. This neutralizes and removes the acid and any fouling still clinging. Then I put them out in the sun on a towel or, on rainy days, in my shop with a fan blowing. The sun dries them out pretty quickly. The resulting cases aren't shiny, but they are clean and dry.
