Imperial sizing wax !!!!
Wipe off with rag/lighter fluid.

Dillon spray: easy, simple and cheap. I use it for all my reloading brass.

imperial die sizing wax. best thing i have found. takes very little and cases clean quickly in a vibratory tumbler.

+1 best there is in my opinion

Motor oil?

Yup, synthetic motor oil. As in this video @ the 4:25 mark.

Any left over KY, I use to lube my .223 cases.

Lanolin, lightly applied with my fingers, every few cases. Works great, bit you have to wipe off the cases When you're done.

Make your own:
100% lanolin -- bought it online
Red Bottle "Heet" ---iso-propyl alcohol
Mix 12oz. lanolin with 1 to 2 oz of iso.
Spray bottle-- lay shells on towel-spray rotate 180' and spray. You can do lge or small quantities as you please.

Funny this would pop back up. I started reloading 223 for the first time a few weeks back and sure enough, I got a case stuck in the full length sizing die...BIG TIME (Lee die). It was a serious pain to get apart. I had been hand applying Dillon lube and apparently, that isn't slick enough, or something.

On a whim, I used th small packed of Lee lube that my die set came with and it ran a-ok...but seriously messy stuff.

One thing I did not do was lube in inside of the neck...when you guys do this, do you re-rumble afterwards? How do you get that lube back out of there so it won't interfere with the powder?
