Hornady Oneshot works great for me.
I have been using Mink Oil from the shoe section of Wal Mart the past several years works better than anything else I've used.
unique
I personally use lee case resizing lube. A tiny almond size dab and 200 cases in a container and shake and it coats all the cases in a light haze of it. Have not had any issues with this method
WD-40. Everybody has some. Just need to drop cases into soapy water after sizing, and rinse.
Very convenient for 100 to 1,000 cases; probably a lot of trouble for 10 cases.
I have had good results with Imperial Sizing wax for bottleneck cases.
I like Hornady Unique, works on the machine gun fired 7.62x 51 in an RCBS Ultra Small Base Die ( only use it on machine gun .308). A tub does thousands of cases, I just wipe my finger across the lube and turn the case in my fingers.
I use Dillon cut 50% with alcohol for volume and imperial for all else
I had a bit of trouble finding case lube in the stores around me in the early '80s. I was shopping in a Walgreens and noticed a jar of Mink Oil Boot Dressing Cream in the shoe polish dept. and grabbed one. I have used MOBD cream since on every cartridge I've sized with not one stuck case, even the "machine gun fired" 7.62x51 I purchased as "once fired". Easy to apply, easy to remove, inexpensive, and good on my old mechanic's hands. I have also experimented with a bunch of different formula and the alcohol/lanolin and Pledge spray also worked OK, but I found the Mink Oil Dressing was just a bit better...
been using the rcbs lube for 40 years never had a stuck case,yet.
KIWI CONDITIONING OIL Paste LEATHER conditioner is the best thing I have tried.
Isoheet - no need to go to the pharmacyQuote:

12 oz isoheet and 2 oz lanolin is what I use, but after sticking one in the APP I won't use it for sizing. Walmart has isoheet for $2. STP works just as well but is too messy for me.
For general case sizing I use Hornady Oneshot spray. For heavy duty sizing or case forming the Mink oil boot dressing has worked for me for years.
I was having issues with stuck 556 cases until i started using this mix. Great stuff !!!!!!!!Quote:

once i used imperial sizing wax; there was no need to try anything else. why on earth would anyone use marvel mystery oil. you can use motor oil too; but, that dosen't mean its good for the job of case resizing.
Yes, Lee says don't use the APP for sizing because the shell holders don't give enough support and I proved them right. I prefer the rock chucker for sizing, although the APP does ok with 9mm sizing. I think 223/556/300aac are pushing the limit on the xpress shell holder.Quote:

Plain old STP. Cheap and a little goes a long way.
