Imp wax on neck and shoulder resizing

Imperial is a pain to remove completely. I'm looking for an alternative that is easier to remove.

That out of the way, I very lightly lube the body and whatever is left on my fingers is spun on the neck.
Best ive ever used and I've tried a few. Comes off easily. Hi lubricity.
All case lube works it way up into the shoulder area just from cases pushing it higher into the die

if you get to much lube on the tapered case body it is forced upward and dents the shoulder. I just tap my index finger lightly in the lube and apply to the case body and shoulder and neck. I then use a Q-tip to lightly lube the inside of the neck. Bottom line less is more.

I process my brass in complete batches. Everything is deprimed, then a 1/2 hour clean with Dawn, Lemishine and stainless chips, AMP annealed, resized with Imperial. I used to wipe with paper towels (painful), but a 15 minutes wash with chips, etc. and they’re done. We’re talking 500+ Dasher cases.

Dasher’s usually don’t grow, so a little C&D and they’re ready to load. Haven’t had peening issues with short runs with the chips. May take a couple batches to do the all, I’m retired, I’ve got time.

Roll the case over my RCBS pad. I guess some gets on the neck. RCBS lube. No problems since I started in 1963.
My guess is I’ll stick ( no pun) with it.
