Pioneers get arrows in their backs.
Let somebody else try it.

I use Hornady Unique case lube the most. A tub will last many, many years.
I know some who use a lube pad with STP oil treatment.
I know some who use lanolin either applied by hand or dissolved in alcohol and sprayed on.
Many options, they all work. I just find the Unique works well in my loading routine. May not work for yours.
I use Pam cooking spray. Spray the case with it. And resize the case and wipe off with a damp rag. I use it because it is 1.99 a can and last forever.
Kiwi "mink oil" leather dressing works just like Imperial Sizing Wax.
Castor Oil (the laxative) is also a very good case lube.
Regular motor oil does not work and transmission fluid does not work. 2-cycle oil or hypoid gear oil might.
I usually use mink oil or Dillon Spray Lube. Sometimes I use castor oil.
Mink Oil Boot Dressing is all I use (plus it leaves my hands so silky soft:roll:). Relatively cheap and can be found anywhere shoe polish is sold; I got mine at Wallgreen's about 7 years ago...
I have used the mink oil and imperial sizing wax. They seem basically the same to me and the mink oil is a fraction of the cost for a lot more.
