    I think the best case lube I ever used, was some pink liquid I was told was drawing soap, used in rolling sheet metal forms. It was so good you didn't feel the shell at all. sad to say I no longer know where to get it.

    My friend runs the local range and picks up the brass and sells it all for scrap. He allows me to pick through it and pay scrap prices for what I take.

    I could by it buy the ton for resale, but I don't want to work that hard to sort and clean it.

    What are some of the rarer calibers that you've encountered since you have started doing this?

    As found on this site"50/50 anhydrous lanolin/Vaseline "melted together and poured into small container works like Imperial sizing die wax. Haven't used it for swaging.
