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). 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.
