Hornady 480053 One Shot Spray Bar Size Small Rifle Steel
The Hornady One Shot Spray Bar in small rifle size is a compact, purpose-built applicator for even case lubrication during reloading. If you're running a small-rifle reloading operation and want to speed up prep work while keeping your bench cleaner, this steel spray bar delivers consistent lube coverage across up to 25 cases per application—no fussy hand-wiping or uneven pooling.
Built from steel for durability, this spray bar pairs with Hornady One Shot Case Lube to make case lubrication faster and more uniform than traditional methods. The small-rifle size is calibrated for the cartridge dimensions you're working with, so you get proper fit without overshooting or missing coverage. The angled layout of the spray holes maximizes surface exposure on each case, and the internal step in each hole adapts to a range of case sizes within the small-rifle family—useful if you reload multiple small-rifle cartridges.
The bottom-drilled holes are a practical touch: they let excess lube drain away rather than pool at the bottom, so you waste less product and your cases come out properly lubricated, not saturated. It's a straightforward tool that cuts wasted motion and lube, which matters when you're processing brass in volume.
