    Yes, it lubes everything fine, you need very little of it. Hardly any. After I size the cases I make sure I wipe out the inside of the case neck with a piece of cotton cloth - poke it in wrapped over a little allen key or a matchstick, and swipe it round to clean it out.

    I couldnt tell you how many cases I reload a year. A lot. (But less than people who shoot pistol competitions.) I dont use this lube because it's cheaper necessarily, although it definitely is, it basically costs nothing. I have had this batch of lube for probably four years. But it works fine and saves the trouble of going to town and buying some real lube. Or finding my wallet and buying some off the internet. Then waiting for it to arrive. I dont have time for this carry on. I have ammunition to make right now.
