Case lube

[SGK]

What are people's current favourites for full length sizing? I was using Imperial Bio but it now looks awful and I need some fresh stuff. I was thinking of just using Hobo Oil. Thoughts?

I like Forster's lube on an RCBS pad.

Imperal sizing wax is about the best I've tried. I suspect most of the waxes are fairly similar.

Sizing Wax > Spray Lube > Lube Pad

Put in the “Search” and read until your satisfied.

I use a very low vis hydraulic fluid I bought at AutoZone. $8 a quart. A lifetime supply. I roll on a pad. Works great. Don’t know why people think they need something special. Petroleum oil has been one of the worlds best lubes for over 100 years. I worked in Research for an oil company. Takes a few seconds to wipe the oil off with a paper towel.

I use Imperial Sizing Wax. It works and lasts virtually forever.

RCBS 2, Water soluble to wipe off easier without sticky residue. Use in conjunction with Case Lube Pad.

"one shot spray"
Lmao !
Agree with @M-61 ... Read forever.

lanolin for Case Lube Remember, it needs to be removed, after sizing. Not always easy.

Then there is wax. Watch out for sticky wax build up.

I have been using this since another member here suggested it. Works great and I like the way the case feels better when wiped off compared to the Imperial wax.

Yeah, I'm transitioning away from One Shot to STP...

I used to use imperial wax but it is pretty messy. I switched to lanolin/alcohol mix and really like it. Very easy to apply lightly and wipes off easily in an old towel.

In twenty or thirty years I may try something else when my imperial wax runs out

I'm partial to the Lee Case Lube and you can resize immediately or let it dry and resize. I've only had issues with it when I don't put enough lube on the case.

It's water soluble and you can wipe it off or leave it on.

I worked or the company that invented STP oil improver for the STP Co. It's 50% viscosity thickener and dissolved in 50% petroluem oil. I'm sure it works but I would think it's difficult to wipe off after sizing.

I used Hornandy Unique case lube for several years. After a benchtop incident, i have now switched to imperial sizing wax. Both work great.

i didnt like one shot and other spray lubes. Just my opinion.

 

[Hotshot]

I like Dillon case lube. Put 100 cases in a plastic bowl. Give them a couple shots from the pump spray bottle and walk away for 15 minutes. When you return to the bench the cases are ready.

I like to do stuff fast and without handling my brass. Hornady One Shot works great for me. Spray it on, come back a few minutes later and go to town.
