Hornady Case Sizing Lube

The Hornady Case Sizing Lube provides a simple way to lubricate brass cartridge cases before resizing. In addition, the liquid formula works with a lube pad, allowing you to lubricate several cases in one step. As a result, it suits reloaders who prefer a traditional case-lubrication method for sizing work.

Hornady Case Sizing Lube Features

First, apply a few drops of Hornady Case Sizing Lube to a suitable case lube pad. Then, roll the cases across the pad so the lubricant reaches the case body. Therefore, you can prepare several cases at once instead of applying lubricant to each case by hand.

In addition, the lube helps reduce friction between the case and sizing die during resizing. As a result, it helps make the sizing process smoother and reduces the chance of a case sticking in the die when you apply the correct amount.

For regular case preparation, the liquid format works well with a case lube pad. The Lyman Case Prep Xpress can also form part of a wider case-preparation setup after sizing.

Furthermore, the product provides a straightforward option for reloaders who want a conventional case-lubrication process. Unlike aerosol case lubes, this method lets you control the amount of lubricant applied to the pad and cases.

For manufacturer information, see the official Hornady Case Lubes range. Hornady lists Case Sizing Lube as Item #050009 and describes it as a classic method for lubricating cases.

Case Lubrication Before Resizing

Before sizing, make sure the brass cases are clean and free from loose dirt or grit. Next, place a small amount of lubricant on the case lube pad. Then, roll the cases across the pad to apply a light, even coating.

After that, place the lubricated cases into the sizing die and follow the die manufacturer’s instructions. Because the lubricant reduces friction, it helps the case move through the sizing operation more smoothly.

However, avoid excessive lubricant. Too much case lube can leave unwanted marks or dents on cases during sizing. Instead, apply enough lubricant to cover the case surface without leaving a heavy coating.

After resizing, remove the lubricant from the cases before continuing with loading. In addition, inspect the brass for damage or other defects before moving to the next stage of case preparation.

Overall, the Hornady Case Sizing Lube offers a simple liquid method for preparing brass cases before resizing. Moreover, its use with a case lube pad makes it practical for batch case preparation and traditional reloading workflows.
