Lots of other ideas too , what do you think ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0117UuXiSS4
What do you guys use, pro's and con's
Water based, rust your dies- that's about all I've come up with so far
wd 40 cheap works good
Synthetic engine oil 5W30 is what I'm using.
crc powerlube
1st choice - hornady unique
2nd choice - imperial sizing die wax
tub of the hornady stuff is less than $ 10 and will do thousands of cases...
For something so cheap to buy in the first place I don't know why you would want to even try. After a couple of stuck cases it will look fairly cheap to buy an off the shelf product.
the lee stuff in the tube is apparently water based as well. I have no problems with it or rust. and cheap as!
for neck sizing, I'm using massiveattack's idea. Some graphite powder in a tub of lead shot. Brilliant, and dry.
Tonigt I improved this by putting the lid from a can of fly spray on now the lube sprays outQuote:

Cheers for that
Lanolin mixed with alcohol.
Mostly use Hornady but also this one time at band camp...
Made up some 50/50 Beeswax Vaseline when I was mucking around with cast bullets and paper patching. Added a bit of the red carnauba wax off some expensive cheese and if you think that stuff makes your car shiny, it makes your barrel like a mirror.
Patroleum products are supposed to root your powder so probably shouldn't use Vaseline.
Did you see that YouTube link in first post, same dealQuote:

That is why you run your cases thru your SSM before you load to clean off your lube. Try Targex's recipe. It is a real winner.Rate it highly.Quote:

When the expander gets a little dry I just push the neck of a shell into the sponge before sizing it.
Works a treat for me and never had a problem, quick to.
