Red bottle heet and lanolin. I use paste lanolin. But it means an extra wash with simple green to get it off.
What is the ratio?
1 bottle heet and 2 tablespoons lanolin paste. Adjust from there to your liking. I use paste cause I had a tub of it from a project. Havent used liquid but i'm sure it's easier.
And always shake before using
Alberto VO5 Hair Dressing.
Dissolve as much Lee Case Lube ( the white waxy stuff in the tube) in a small container with Denatured Alcohol . I use a small baby food jar and shake it until no more case lube will dissolve.
Strain the liquid into a small spray bottle , 6 oz. , with a squeeze handle and on/off tip that controls the spray . From wally mart travel section around pharmacy
Spray the cases , roll around and let dry . They dry in a minute or two and size .
Works so much better than finger application and the thin dry wax wipe off ... No Mess.

Liquid Lanolin from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Lanolin-softe...%2C240&sr=8-19

91% Alcohol from Amazon or other source - https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Brand-...5008650&sr=8-3
Each person seems to have their own mixture ratio ranging from 16-1, 12-1, 10-1, and most commonly 5-1

Hornady Unique case lube works great is cheap and a can will last a very long time. Imperial die wax is almost as good is cheap and also a can will last a long time.
You need 100% pure liquid lanolin for it to stay in solution

You also need at least 92% alcohol so it dries in a reasonable length of time
98%

I add 1 ounce of lanolin to the 12 oz. bottle of red iso heet dropping a marble, bullet, boolit in it to act as an agitator.
[some people add up to 2 ounces of lanolin to 12 oz. heet but I feel it stays too sticky! I'd suggest you start with 1/12 and you can always add more if you want]
I label and leave the bottle of heet with the lanolin mixture on my bench and shake&add it to a small spray bottle whenever it runs low.
I used an empty eyeglass cleaner spray bottle

Castor Oil works for me, but I am a cheapskate!!
STP oil additive, just put a little on a felt pad and rub it in, then roll your case
on the pad and size. Just takes a light coating, wipe off case with dry rag.
If your really cheep STP is the way to go. Been using it for 40 yrs.
GONRA's cast lead boolit shootin' has been 99% limited to auto pistols with (mostly)
range lead boolits selected so all lube grooves are within the loaded cartridge case.
Once NRA came out with the 50/50 beezwax/ALOX 2138F boolit lube,
purchased a gallon of pure ALOX 2138F from the manufacturer.
Just run pure ALOX 2138F in my Lyman Lube Sizer.
.25 ACP --- on up --- .455 W&S Auto.
Verks Just Fine for (most) my slam bang shootin'....
(Sometymes have to upgrade to a harder scrap alloy. etc.)
Bag Balm here. The RCBS case lube was repackaged STP.
in a pinch ive used stp oil treatment and also Johnsons paste wax. little goes a long way. I'm not sure what kind of wax imperial is but ive never had a stuck case with it and as you apply it to one shell at a time I'm able to inspect brass as I lube it.
