English Rifleman Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 I am currently using hornady case lube, But every time i need more its very difficult to get or way too expensive. Has anyone tried the popular Liquid Lanolin and Isopropyl Alcohol Brew. Does this work exactly the same as Hornady's lube. Interested in peoples experiances.

Dr. Strangelove Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 I’m biased in that I sell it (proceeds going to charity) on Stalking Directory but I’ve not heard any negative feedback from my 50+ sales and I’ve not had an issue using it myself!

terryh Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 It works very well, went over to this a good few years ago and have pointed others onto it. cannot remember the ratio off hand, but 12:1 alc to lanolin rings a bell. Cheap house plant spray pumper bottle from local garden centre works a treat. Same base constituents as commercial products but 1/10 the price.

maximus otter Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 ln fact, if you select the 4oz. bottle of liquid lanolin on Amazon, it automatically offers you the option of 1 litre of isopropyl alcohol as “Frequently bought together.” 😁 maximus otter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I’ve never used One Shot or the above with Lanolin & Isopropyl. Does it leave a residue on the case afterwards? Something you need to either wipe or clean off? I still use my small tin of Imperial Die Wax (had the same tin for 10+yrs…never seems to get empty). It’s good stuff for FL sizing, but it gets tacky and needs more than just wiping off…usually cases need throwing back into the US cleaner. I have also used the graphite stuff for lubing the inside of necks when expanding necks with a mandrel or generally lubing the ‘grabby’ necks post US Cleaning before seating a bullet (better for a consistent bullet release).

gruntus Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hi Catch, It does leave a residue on it, I usually give then a wash in hot soapy water afterwards and then give them a good rub on a dry towel. I've also used break cleaner and a towel before. I only do batches of 50 so it's not too much of a chore. Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hi All, I meant to ask if anyone else has seen separation of the lanolin and alcohol if its been left standing for a long while unused? All the best G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit less of a chore than the Imperial Wax, I find it doesn’t easily wash off and requires several attempts at wiping it all off. I may give the above a go.

It does, and it can be wiped off but I find it easier to size and trim and then wet ss tumble to clean and it does the wiping off for me. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I already bought a bottle from Dr S and have used it to size a few hundred 6.5x47 and .303 cases. A couple of pumps in a sandwich bag is all that’s needed for an even coat. Sizing was great - no issues with stuck cases or over lube bulges. Afterwards I simply rinsed the sized cases in some hot water with a squiz of wash liquid and done. In all, a lot quicker than lubing and then cleaning each case with the Imperial Wax. Perfecto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Rifleman Posted April 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Just a quick thanks to all, who posted in this thread. I used this home brew 12:1 for the first time the other day and can say it performs very simular to the "OneShot" i had been using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattnall Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Published recipes vary from 1:10 to 1:25 mix. I can buy Lanolin in 118ml bottles and alcohol in 5lt tubs - two of lanolin and one of alcohol gets a mix of 1:21, never had a sticky one yet and no need to measure if I just mix them all together. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
