Lube for the single stage?

I cleaned a rcbs press my friend found on the side of the road. It's a jl-3 I think. Scrubbed and soaked in mineral spirits. Lubed it with Mobil 1 synthetic ball bearing grease and its silky smooth now. Took a few hundred 9mm rounds to smooth out but now it's great. Clean I mean really clean and lubricated it all it takes imo. No special witches brew required.
 
Mineral oil (baby oil/butchers block oil), light as possible.

Use same on all your other gun related lube requirements- from sizing brass to lubing your rifle.

Ballistol is medicinal grade white mineral oil.

Google Hobo oil. It's made from the fruit of a plant.
