I used Ballistol lightly on my fingertips. If that works, why not gun oil as well? - -- very lightly


Off course be extra careful to keep away from the primers.

I had some .308 LC brass that would gall in my resizing die about an inch into the die and couldn't be moved further into the die for resizing. Was using Hornady case lube and then switched to the Dillon lube to see if that worked better than the Hornady lube. Same thing continued to happen with each shell I tried to resize using the Dillon lube..
Remembered that I had read somewhere that PAM was good for resizing and I tried it on the stubborn LC .308 cases. It worked like a charm. The cases were then actually easier to resize than the commercial Winchester cases that I had been resizing prior to the LC cases.
I'll not buy and commercial case lubricant again. You'll use so little that your wife will never know that you robbed her pantry for the PAM.

Kiwi Mink Oil. Cheap and available at a lot of places. I get same results with it that I did with Imperial Sizing Wax. A little goes a long way.

Paraffin if you have it. You can also use car wax, vasoline or any slick stuff. Just be careful to keep all petroleum based products away from primers and powder.

Bullsize from the Bullshop of course. One pass 30/06 to 257 Roberts no problem.
