Swamp Donkey Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just give your dies a quick clean after use ? Works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pork chop Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 i use the lee lube always found it to be ok also use sizing wax but i think its hornady without looking,the lyman spray i have i no longer use never got on with it used to get dented cases or stuck ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 as said imperial wax , it makes the rest look silly and probably the cheapest as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Imperial Sizing Wax, everything else is a poor substitute. My son looked at it and commented on how it looked and felt like cheap hair wax which is also water soluble and 99p a pot. I have never used the stuff so hard to comment on if it would work or not.... The thing about ISW is it will probably last the lifetime of an average shooter.

oaken Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I use the lee stuff and still on my original tube though mostly only neck size with collet dies that don't require any lube. Also find that letting it dry before sizing works best. Try storing your dies somewhere dry to prevent rust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Dillon Spray Lube, never had any issues with it. Have some Hornady One Shot to try as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Imperial Sizing Wax for me.... a pot lasts forever, it won't create hydraulic dents unless you truly slather it on, It works with just a smear on the case, it comes off easily..... what more could you want?

Yes Imperial-if Carlsberg or Lapua made sizing wax,this would be it.Just the best and not expensive.A tin lasts a long time too. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistol Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Imperial die wax when applying to single cases. Slow but very effective in use. Dillon spray lube when applying to a tub full and leave to dry for 30 minutes before use. Much quicker and still effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Use some of that Joy Jelly you like so much....... Didn't know you could spit on cases to lube them up... So to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone to his own but you can hand lube (with ISW) a lot of cases in less than the 30 mins it takes spray lube to dry....... the process can be wierdly relaxing too !!!

I assure you that it is much more productive to spend a minute spraying a tub of 500 .223 cases half an hour before you need them, than hand lube them.

Wildcat69 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have used the Lyman stuff and found difficult to clean off afterwards also it smells. I use for small jobs like neck sizing( with bushing) dry neck powder from Redding with the applicator balls and for large job neck expanding, neck turning and FL sizing the imperial wax. Cheapest, easiest, and easy clean off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial -it's also the favourite of many serious accuracy shooters who buy the best irrespective.(F class and BR).If you don't like it,you are doing something wrong. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgobang88 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi, +1 for the Imperial Sizing Wax. I've been using it for years and am only on my second tin, a little goes a long way. I also use the neck sizing lube which is also an excellent product, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go wrong trying a tin for well under £10.you may come to use no other,but will use it,and it lasts a long time.... ..if you don' t like it,I'll even buy it from you!
