Found a new lube that works great for reloading.

[Lurch]

I'm new to reloading rifle cases and didn't do my research on lubing cases. I found some 223 dies and figured I would mess around with them and got the first case stuck in the dies. Don't laugh to hard I said I was new. So I looked around and I have some Ballistol that I had mixed with water to clean some of my rifles. Well it works great for lubing cases as well.

I use Lee case lube mostly, but they all work decently well. If you use the Hornady "One Shot" lube though make SURE you clean all traces of any lube used previously, there is something about the One Shot lube that can react poorly with other lubes and actually cause stuck cases.

I've always used RCBS' and had no problems with it, either up sizing or down sizing.

I've tried the Hornady lube and had massive problems with stuck cases. The stuff actually smells and feels like motorcycle chain lube... In any event I REALLY like the Dillon case lube. That stuff is awesome. I've NEVER had a case stick since I've started using it. Great stuff...

A quart goes a long way, plus you can get it anywhere.

Still on my first quart. Just use a little bit. I put a few small lines of oil on a washcloth, let it soak in and it gives a very very light coat on the brass. (roll brass down cloth)

I like it because you don't get the gummy build up you get from other lubes

Imperial sizing wax is the best for bottle neck sizing in my opinion.

1 oz of lanolin and 12 oz of 91% rubbing alcohol. Warm up the lanolin till it is liquid, then mix with alcohol in a spray bottle. Shake well before use. Costs me about $3 per bottle and will do several thousand cases.

Pure lanolin can be found on eBay or through some health food or craft supply places. I normally price it on eBay and get half a pound at a time for less than $10 shipped. In it's solid state, it will store for long periods. I keep it wrapped in wax paper.

I've read that lemon Pledge, furniture polish will work well in a pinch.
