What do you use for a lubricant

[Bad Water Bill]

Imperial is my CURRENT favorite but I have tried many others including S T P way back when.

[GRUMPA]

A 50/50 mix of Anhydrous Lanolin and Vaseline

Somebody else here mentioned they used mink oil, I had a can and tried it and I like it. A dab on my fingers rolled into my palm and I'm good for 5-6 06 cases going into a small base sizer before I need to touch my fingers to the can again. Much better than the old lyman (STP) lube on a pad.

Loaded question there Bill.

Imperial when the going gets tough Imperial.

[GhostHawk]

Everything from WD-40 to Ben's Red. Frankly the Ben's Red worked better. So I broke down and bought a tin of imperial.

Wow, good stuff!

A little dab'l do ya.

I've been using Imperial for about 30 years, works great so never changed, had a friend that used mink oil, seemed to work ok, also read Steve Herrett & Bob Milek used VO5 shampoo when forming the Herrett cases.

Straight Anhydrous Lanolin, on my palms....smells like a darn wet sheep but my hands are smooth as a babies behind!
No stuck cases ( unless I do something stupid)

Hornady Unique

Mink oil. Softens the fingers too.

I use the Imperial and have for many years, I have tried some others and went back to it. Only issue is around here finding it is a problem in LGS, have to order it or get it while at Camp Perry during comercial row is open. But a tin of it lasts for ever. I have used anahydrous lanolin also as its here for Black powder lube use also. I really disliked the old lube pads with stp type lubes it got everywhere. LOL.

Lee case lube mixed with alcohol in a spritzer bottle. Little bit of lube lots of alcohol. Goes a long way.

I guess nobody likes it but I use generic STP cut with a little kerosene on my RCBS lube pad. I mostly neck size or use carbide dies so my lube pad does not get a lot of use once my cases are formed. I make cases for 25 Krag Ackley Imp. 6mm PPC and 30 BR Long. The lube pad works, I have not stuck a case since 1975 when I tried to FL size a 30-30 that I forgot to lube. You can use the motor oil additive without thinning if you want but it is goopier that way but you don't have to work hard to scrounge the kerosene and you can get it today if your gun shop doesn't have any case lube.

Mink Oil, it has lanolin in it. I tried liquid lanolin mixed w/ 99% alcohol for necking 308 up to 358. Stuck a case first try. Only time I've ever stuck one and haven't tried that concoction again.

I've used mink oil boot dressing for years, works as well as Imperial Wax and can be bought at any sporting goods store or shoe store.

[salpal48]

I use " Panef Lube a stick. Get it @ my local hardware store White silicone stick I posted a thread In equipment . Even posted a picture
. also cheap $6.00 a tube lasts for years
try it you will like it

[kenyerian]

imperial or mink oil. Both last a long time.

[joesig]

50/50 lanolin and castor oil.

[No_1]

Imperial is my favorite.

[hornady308]

When forming cases, I generally use Imperial. It is the best I've ever used. Alberto V05 also works because it contains lanolin, and a tube will last for years. Smells good, too.

RCBS case lube cut 1:16 with isopropyl alcohol makes a great spray lube for the stuff going across the Dillon. I mostly use Imperial for single stage bottle necks, but I have used anhydrous lanolin.
