Lube for swaging

[tbj555]

What recipe do you pros use for swaging, Im using BT's dies.

[runfiverun]

2 parts anhydrous lanolin and one part castor oil.
some mix them 1-1.
i use the 2-1 for case forming and full length case sizing too.
i mix lanolin about 4 parts 90% rubbing alcohol to one part lanolin as a spray on case lube.
let it dry then give the cases a run through the pile with the 2-1 mix on my fingers and size.
i mainly do this when doing a batch of a k or so.

you can get anhydrous lanolin from randy rat here.
i bought 3 lbs to go with the lb i had,i won't need any forever.

Lamar, have you seen a spray that you spray on a swagged boolit that acts like a lube or jacket. It looked pretty interesting but a can was $22.

Any thoughts on making it?

i haven't seen the spray stuff.

after i swage my boolits i will tumble them in walnut media, first plain [to remove the lanolin].
then with some nu-finish which puts a polymer coating on them.
i have also heard of an extremly thin coat of carnuba wax being used but it is applied in a tumbler.
