RCBS case lube II = Water soluble! Comes off as easy as soap, maybe easier and no build up in the tumbler.
I'll have to look into trying the laundry detergent but at the moment I am in the middle of experimenting with the RCBS lube for deriming purposes. At the moment I am 3000 cases into a 5000 count batch and so far no problems. I am using my Nitride processed derim die in an RCE Hydraulic press so one would have to experiment in there own die if different.
So far I like the advantages of being able to simply wash off the lube with water. Rinse after deriming then tumble in stainless with typical dish soap and citric acid for perfect results.
I cleaned the 22lr brass first in stainless steel media then tumbled the clean dry brass with the RCBS case lube at a ratio of about 1-2 grains per pound of brass.
So far I like the results!
I still advise lanolin based lube, and only lanolin based lubes, for all swaging purposes but for deriming........ might just want to give the RCBS lube a try.
When using lanolin I would soak the brass in mineral spirits then tumble in designated corncob media and finally followed by tumble in stainless steel with soap and citric acid. I got tired of all the extra work. I also didn't like the idea of getting any sort of layer of left over lube on the inside of the jackets.
Anyway..... good shooting and swage on!
