I switched to Hornady One-Shot and have not had any issues since. Its so much faster to use a spray lube anyway. I generously lube my cases, to include ensuring that lube gets inside the necks.
I let the brass dry and then proceed with the next steps in my process.
There were guys early-on here who shot their headstamps out of Lapua brass with 20+ firings.
I switch back and forth between shooting hand loads and factory ammo. Ive shot a lot more factory ammo over the past 4-5 years I think.
Do you clean the one shot off after sizing?
I just came across this, didnt realize how much effect it could have.
