Redding sizing wax question.

[kberch]

Just got off the phone. Talked to Curt himself. He told me the lube has a lanolin base and could possibly be used for lip balm. Great guy to talk to.

When i said it tastes good, I wasn't kidding. Lol
I probably over used it on 1st half dozen cases, it don't take much at all.

Do you mind sharing what this lube will cost?

 

[quest450]

No, I love the simplicity of it, but...

So which is better white or red?
I just got mine today.
I can tell ya it tastes just like it smells, pretty good, looking forward to trying it out.View attachment 1618404

I had no idea he made a red one, now I'm gonna have to get some and find out......oh the suspense

Case lubes are probably about as prolific as gun cleaning solutions or cast bullet lubes. If you want a chuckle look at the Cast Boolits or ASSRA forum at the sticky on bullet lubes, some of those recipes will amaze and confound you. If it's waxy, greasy or oily, and provides a slippery film to coat the brass, that forms a film that stays on the brass while sizing, good enough. Some is easier to apply or remove than others, is the essential difference.
I used RCBS for 30 yrs or so, switched to Imperial 12-13 yrs ago, less mess, not expensive, as it goes a long way.

Wonder if Chap Stick would work? Feels like about the same stuff as these lubes.

Am I the only one here using Hornady One Shot?

I use and I’ve never had a single stuck case in my life. Just spray, wait 3-5 minutes for the solvent to flash off and go to sizing.

Dave try a tin of Curt Knitt's lube.
I seriously just want to size brass since I tried it.
I was a die hard 1 shot user.

The Red is for Friday nights!

Hmmm, if I ever run out of imperial I guess I can make do with Carmex

lol

I keep a tube of the generic lip balm from the dollar store on the shelf. Mainly for stubborn, hard sizing brass. The easy, small stuff, large batches stills gets Hornady one shot. I clean my dies with Hornady one shot lube/cleaner. Than I'm good to use any lube for sizing. Keep your vent hole clear!!

Im going to try the Royal next. I never thought I'd use the whole tin of imperial, but the day is approaching. I like that it is edible. I wanna die from bacon and whiskey, not chemicals....

That’s why I like Trump bringing Kennedy in on the team. More power to the man if he wants to get a bunch of bad crap out of our food.

IMO ..... Imperial is a PITA getting it all off the cases.
I generally wash my cases, so use a water soluble lube

I’ve never had a problem removing Imperial, but then again I’ve never used water to clean a piece of brass. I guess the old saying, there’s more than one way to skin a cat rings true.

I called to order some today but nobody answered. I’ll try again tomorrow. I’ve never had any issues with one shot or imperial lube. I’ve used both extensively. I tend to use one shot when I do larger batches of sizing. I’ll use imperial on my fingers when doing small sizing batches.

I use a light vis petroleum oil sold by AutoZone for about $9 a qt. It's labled as a hyraulic fluid. I have been rolling them on a pad for 50 years. I think AutoZone now sells it as a synthetic hydraulic fluid. Nothing lubes better than petroleum based fluids. Most of the other stuff works if you are not moving the brass very much.

Almost everything thats sold as synthetic oil is made from petoleum oil. Years ago the oil companies got the government to allow highly refined petroleum oil to be called synthetic.
