Case resizing lube.....

[DWalt]

STP works just as well as a case forming lubricant as it does for resizing. I don't form cases so much anymore, but I still do occasionally. For me, another essential item for resizing bottlenecked rifle cases is powdered graphite - I have a little device made for that purpose that has several different sized wire brushes and a trough for the powdered graphite. It applies graphite to the inside of the case neck. Makes lubrication of the neck during the upstroke over the expander ball very easy.

Don't forget WHALE OIL!!!

Whale oil works very well..but since we can't get it here any longer I won't waste what little I have left on sizing cases. I doubt you can even get it from Russia or Japan any longer. I used the majority of my last bluing guns

I like mixing my own stuff -- Ed's Red for cleaning, Felix world famous cast bullet lube and lanolin oil mixed with 90% alcohol in a spray bottle for case lube.

I've tried several case lubes over the years.

I use Hornady One Shot on pistol cases with carbide dies. Lay them flat on an old cookie pan and a light spray of One Shot.
Just makes everything operate smoother on the progressive press.

And Imperial Sizing Wax on Rifle cases. I started using it 2 or 3 years ago when re-forming .308 brass into 6.5 Creedmoor brass. It works Great.

Send me your name and address and I will send you some Manatee Oil. It is just as good.
