RGB dies LEE.....
do have hornady,lyman and rcbs dies too....so not all one brand.
love your idea,often simple is best.

25 years of success doesn't lie. I would have thought a petroleum based lube would be death to primers and I handle my primers all the time, carefully with dry clean hands. I'd get Vaseline all over them. I think thats a problem with the Imperial Wax also. It is not unlike Vaseline but harder. Expensive shit too. Not that you need to but I bet if you got to grips with using the Lee product you would get past the issues. One of advantage is it cleans off easily with water. Rifles in particular require the brass to be squeaky clean in order to obtain a grip on expanding against the chamber as fired. Enfield 303B in particular but all to some extent. How do you clean the Vaseline off the finished cartridge?
