Ok so I just got a new HRN powder droppers and it says to tear it apart to remove the rust inhibitor and lists some hornday lube. I dont have this lube but i have a bunch of dillion case lube. Will that work?

Some Hornady lube?  I would assume since you are removing an anti tarnish it said to use "Hornady One Shot Gun Cleaner-Degreaser and Dry Lubricant" Not just the plain lube.  In that case the dillon case lube will not work the same as it is not a cleaner-degreasor.  Personally I have used the hornady one shot cleaner degreaser and dry lube on each new die set and such before be being used and I love it.

YMMV

If you are asking about lube for your cases, yes, the Dillon stuff works great. Thats all I use.

Just use some carburator cleaner.  Dillon case lube is NOT what you want to use to clean up the powder thrower.

Its not necessary to lube anything.  Take the powder dispenser apart, wipe all the surfaces down with a clean rag to remove the anti rust stuff, reassemble the dispenser and run a pound of powder through it (back into the original powder container).  This will leave a film of iirc graphite that rubs off from the powder and you will be good to go.

Brake cleaner or rubbing alcohol to clean, as mentioned above, powder to lube.

The instruction manual says; "We recommend that you clean and degrease all moving parts with Hornady One
Shot Gun Cleaner and Dry Lube. (Black Label)".

If you use some other degreaser, like carburator cleaner, be careful because it can easily take off the paint.

I used alcohol to clean mine, I'd be afraid to use something like brake cleaner,, might remove the paint and melt the plastic hopper.
