I noticed this on the back page of Dillon's Blue Press the other day, has anyone tried it or know what it is? I was thinking it may keep my storage boxes and seating die cleaner.

Switch to a hard lube & heater, problem solved, unless you are reloading in Phoenix or Texas in summer.

My Lube is in the groove, I don't understand what they are trying to eliminate.

Also a moot point with powder coating.

It is a powder to coat the lubed lead bullet in order to keep the bullet from feeling sticky. I use Cred, so my boolits aren't all that bad. Powder coated boolits were great to handle. They are smooth and easy to hang on to, without feeling sticky or gumming up the dies. I loaded some bear creek moly coated lead bullets today. They are slick as snot and made my hand hurt from trying to keep a grip on the stupid things, and that was a 200 grain 45 cal RN hollow base (no lube grooves).

Wax lubed boolits can gum up a boolit feeder. GSI makes bullet feeders, in case people didn't know. I use a Mr. Bulletfeeder on my 1050. They are supposed to be able to run a wax lubed bullet, but I haven't tried it. I figure PC would be great for the bullet feeder as well.

I switched to a hard lube perhaps 25 years ago , i still get some lube build up in just the crimp die , just clean periodicaly.
I have allways been able to get equally accurate loads and no leading with hard lube , and storage in bulk containers as large as 2 1/2 gallon buckets is a dream with no lube bleeding
