Thanks everyone for your comments on Hornady Unique Case Lube.
I did not want to jump into FL sizing till I got some feed back.

I actually prefer Unique over Imperial or OneShot.

This is just a suggestion but here is my technique for FL sizing, I scoop a small amount with my fingers and spread it onto a cheap computer mouse pad then roll several cases on their sides back and forth. This gets the body of the cases thorough covered with little or no lube on the shoulders.

This method ensures all the cases are lubed consistently without accumulating lube in the shoulder area of the die (no dented shoulders).

for FL sizing all I use is unique. I mostly shoot 7RM and have had no issues with unique, as a matter of fact my cases seem to go in and out of the die smoother using unique. But, neck sizing I donot lube at all.
For a hint I always decap first using a decaping die (Lee), then clean (SS wet tumble), before I size. I never size an unclean case

Unique is great stuff and all I use but it is a tad softer than imperial making it easier to apply too much wich will eventually cause a build up in the die. I apply it then wipe my fingers and rub off any excess and I try not to get it on the shoulder at all. With this method I have never had a build up in my die

Only way to stick a casing with the Unique or Imperial is - forget to apply it.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't forget to lube the cases. Life doesn't treat everyone the same. Since using One Shot stuck cases are a thing of the past.

You don't disappoint me. Everyone has the right to be wrong.

I have stuck cases with unique and one shot but more so with the one shot. I have found that with either lube it works best if I thoroughly clean the die prior to using it

You do disappoint me.

That's because you asked for it. So I obliged you. Merry Christmas.

Besides being a very good case lube you can rub it on your leather boots to water proof them.

Hornady Unique Case Lube MSDS
Mink Oil 5-15%
Glycerol Monooleate, emulsifier stabilizer 5-15%
Bleached Tallow 70-90%
Refined Paraffin Wax 0-5%

Versus

Fiebing's Mink Oil Paste (Leather conditioner water proofer)
Glycerol esters of C14 C18 fatty acids 5-15%
Mink Oil 5-15%
Glycerol monooleate 5-15%
Bleached Tallow 54.7-84.9%
Fragrance 0.1-0.3%

Bottom line, you can give Hornady One Shot "the boot".
