If you have a problem finding it locally, call a locksmith--if they don't have it, they'll know who does.

You can get it in quarts at a farm supply store (lubes bailer twine).

Suggest Motor Mica - works well and is CLEANER!

Auto parts store, used for sticky locks. Comes in small plastic tube.

Or, Imperial Dry Neck Lube, which is what I use along-side their Sizing Wax.

Graphite works great on the case necks. I dump it into a small container of #9 lead shot and plunge the case neck into the shot container 2 or 3 times to lube it. I bought several tubes on eBay for next to nothing.

This is exactly what I do, I keep some #9 in a small perscription bottle and add a little graphite when I think it needs it. Shake it up every once in a while. I got my powdered graphite at NAPA auto parts store.

I've posted this picture before in the spirit of "helpful hints". The electric toothbrush minus the brush is used to settle powder in the case using the vibrating flat. The 50 BMG deburring tools is just easier on the hands. You can see the graphite in the shot bottle.
