Neolube #2

[trebor244]

How are you applying it to the necks?

there's a brush inside the bottle. be careful; it is messy to use

I use Neolube inside new cases, like my 20 Vartarg or 17 Mach 4 cases, so I got a pack of very small tipped foam applicators off TEMU, and those fit into both the 20 and 17 caliber necks. No wood or fiber dowel to soak up the Neolube, so it goes a long ways.

similar to mine but mine has no point on the tip. I've been using the same swab now for about 4 years. I dont want oil anywhere near my primers and powder.

I’ve been using a homemade version that cost virtually nothing as I cannot source Neolube #2 {cannot go through the mail and I assume that is because of solvent issues}
I put about 1/2 teaspoon of ultra fine lock graphite in a small jar {baby food or the like} add just enough Isopropyl alcohol to make a fluid mix and apply it to the inside necks of my cases before using a mandrel that now never has brass deposit to be cleaned off and I can tell that the seating force is much less as well.
Just using a good old Q-tip that lives inside the jar and ready when ever I need it. The flat bottom of the jar makes it stable and I just line up the cases in a loading block with an old towel to catch any “Oops!”. I do always load with Nitrile gloves that reduce the amount of “Known by the state of Californication to cause Cancer” absorption and keeps the clean brass shiny and clean away from my finger sweat and primers not exposed to any skin oil.
The first cases are ready to use by the time I finish the last one in the block as the alcohol dries quickly.
I have used the dry lube stuff and not had good results, scratching in the neck area if using for neck sizing {I believe that is is due to micro pieces of the ceramic balls used as a carrier} and of course you wind up with graphite on the outside of the neck as well and that has to be wiped off with the associated mess…

and anything on the reloading bench .... yourself .... and everything else in the room.

Anyone had experience using Neolube #2 for a lube for inside of case necks?

I use it with foam applicators and a needle point oiler makes seating a great deal more consistent. swipe turn neck down let dry doesn't take long

I use bullets coated with boron nitride. Would it benefit me to use Neolube? Any input would be appreciated.

I use a lot of BN coated bullets as well. I think it still makes a difference in seating pressure - subjectively. I have no way of measuring it yet.

Edited after the stupid spell check changed BN to BM. I don’t coat bullets with BM, that’d be gross.

Thank you. I'm going to try some.

I too have used BN coated bullets and can tell you that using the Neolube or my formula will definitely reduce the force needed to seat the bullets, especially in cleaned brass, and make removing them if you ever have to pull them, WAY easier….
I use a KM arbour press and Wilson seating dies and though I don’t have the “Force Gauge” setup I can tell that the seating force is less than before starting to use the lube on the inside of the case necks.

Thanks for the information.

I’m at Nats now, but when I get home I’ll post a graph and work done forces from AMP Press on new brass seating forces/work done both with and without Neolube…I’ll never ever load new brass again without using it..

2 Fl.Oz. basically being a lifetime supply unless you spill it….

More like a 2 year supply.

I spilled it. Not much but it do make a mess (or I do make a mess is more accurate).

I have found a big qtip (Ramrodz is what I use) that has been dipped in the container and has dried out, will still coat the ID of the neck well enough for using a mandrel.
