So I picked up an extra Lyman 450 at a yard sale a while back. It had not been used in forever and a day. I decided to clean it out last weekend. It was almost full of what appeard to be very old NRA 50/50 lube so I caredully disassembeld and scooped out what I could. The old lube went into a dish on the workbench. I boiled the sizer and reassembed it works like a champ.
Now...the point of my story: I was getting ready to load a few .30-06 shells for testing and I looked high and low...where the !#@#& <? is my case lube? Scanning my bench my eyes come to rest on the dish of ancient nastiness I had scopped out of the Lyman 450. I took a shop towel, massaged some of the lube into it and proceeded to wipe each case. They sized with nearly no effort at all! Clean, easy and a quick wipe with mineral spirits (standard practice for me anyway) left the cases clean and shiny.
Hmmmmm....
