Corbin swage lube.
Ok so I have read stuff that said Lanolin can be very difficult to remove, that was why I asked. People I know have contaminated their stainless wet tumble pins with the lanolin. Woolite instead of dish soap in the wet tumbler is said to do a good job cleaning the pins up if they end up with lanolin on them. The traditional swage lube has quite a bit of lanolin in it ?
Some folks that have an extensive swaging info page setup use marvel mystery oil as a lube to squirt cores, then clean them with coleman fuel.
Here is the thread where that is mentioned, IMHO core swaging is not as demanding lubricant wise as the rest of the process involved in making bullets. This guy was using 6oz of marvel in 1 gallon of acetone.

Just wondering if the coleman fuel is actually removing the lanolin from your cores or not.

your cores are not clean wash them in simple green rinse with very hot water then one more bath in white gas let dry make sure your hands are not oily when you drop them in your jackets keep all of your jacket's - cores CLEAN
