Mike,
I have several tins of the Imperial Wax from before and after the Redding purchase of Imperial. It didn't turn green until after Redding bought the company. I've never noticed any difference when sizing brass whether the tins were before/after or the color of the wax. A thin coat applied with a Q-tip is applied to about 35% of the case body, with a little occasionally getting on the case neck.
HTH,

One is green and the other is white. Sorry I had to do it LOL Tommy Mc
I’ve been a big fan of Imperial sizing wax until I got a sample of Kick Ass case lube from Curt Knitt from CTK Precision, this stuff is really good and I like it much better than Imperial, it’s less sticky and almost impossible to over lube the case and it applies very evenly, definitely worth a try imo

I've been impressed by it as well. Great product!
Yes Jerry, you still live under a rockAm I the only one here using Hornady One Shot?
I've been using Imperial Wax for 20yrs or so. In all that time I've never had a reason to change. I got a few buddies switched over to it too. I'd like to try the Royal Case Lube but the two tins of Imperial that I have on hand will probably last another couple of years.

I have both, aside from the color, they are the same.
I also have can of the Hornandy , which looks like white soap. It does the job, just not as good as the Imperial/Redding.

I had only ever used Imperial up until about two years ago, then I tried Royal. It’s crazy how good it is.

Yep….about 1/2 the force required and it just wipes off with a microfiber towel.
Where do you get it?
^^^^^^^^ best ive ever used, and that includes imperial and lanolin
Got a link? Went to the site to check it out but no mention of the case lube
The Hornady that I have been getting is a red color.
I do not, Curt was handing those little containers out at the Nationals, call him there's a # on the lid, he's a really good dude and a awesome benchrest shooter, I'll go out of my way to support guys like him.
No, I love the simplicity of it, but...Am I the only one here using Hornady One Shot?
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.
