    I believe you're right; it's now a Redding product, but they did have at least one, maybe two case lubes of their own of which at least one was water soluble. May have been discontinued.

    Following suggestions on this site I made up a batch of let's call it 45-45-10 , Equal by volume of anhydras lanolin,and petroleum jelly plus 10% mink oil. I tried it on some un polished brass and it works marvelously.

    Used this for years on an ink stamp pad.Worked fine but messy.I went to Imperial 20 years ago and would not change.

    Ola is in Finland - does the Vermont Country Store ship overseas? That's where I got my Bag Balm.

    There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!

    My old reloading friend told me to use STP also, I just glued a piece of felt to a board, and then apply a small amount of STP. Works much like a ink stamp pad, except it's bigger, I can lube 20 cases at once no problem! The only problem I've run into is when I lube the inside and run them though the tumbler the media clings to shoulder inside, and then I have to clean each one with a q-tip to remove the crud. Just another step.
