    Lube Cases?

    Best case lube is redding sizing wax, and a little goes a long way

    The convenient spray on lubes will give you a stuck case sooner or later and at the very least due to lower lubricating capabilities add extra effort required to the sizing processes.

    Redding sizing wax on a cotton bud is a very efficient way to lube the inside of case necks, putting the product exactly where you want it and no where else

    The redding product is also a perfect addition to the external surfaces on brass shoulders when fire forming, it gives much sharper formed shoulders and cases extremely close to fully formed internal capacity.

    Steer clear of water soluble formulations as again they lack lubricity compared to the redding product and all of your fingerprints/product left on your dies and reloading equipment will cause surface rust.
