What case lube

[Sidewinder]

I have been using Hornady case lube since it came out. I had customers telling me that they have been getting some stuck cases with it. I ran out and got a new can and then I was almost getting stuck cases. I contacted Hornady and asked them if they changed their formula, they would not respond to the question. I changed to Lyman spray on case lube and it is not that good either as I have to use Imperial case wax to get the job done.

What are you using to lube your cases for resizing?

As you have discovered, I have not found anything that beats Imperial Sizing Wax. Larry

This. I use an old RCBS case lube pad I bought probably 25 years ago, lay out 10-20 cases depending on size, roll with the palm of my hand, and never had a problem. I've had cases get stuck or hard extraction with imperial, but never it's the RCBS lube. Water soluble, wipes of easy.

Well I used Imperial Die Wax for years. But now I use Hornady Unique Case Lube. Just a hair softer than the imperial Die Wax. But you get twice as much for half the price of Imperial. Never had a stuck case with this stuff. Try it my money says you'll like it. But then you could be one of those people still stuck on that RCBS greasy kids stuff.

Lee sizing lub. A tube seems to last forever! Easy on, easy off, can't even feel it on your fingers & never a problem.

IMPERIAL!! Tried a bunch of others but Imperial is the "go to" lube.
Spray lubes? Bad Ju Ju. And I have stuck a "few" cases in my day.
Usually cause I think I can get one more size before I need more lube.
I can get by with lubing maybe every other case rather than all of them. THAT'S when the problem comes up.
I know, you have to wipe the stuff off when you're done but keep in mind, every time you touch that case is just another opportunity to check it for problems.
And if you're in that much of a hurry that you can't slow down for another case inspection,you need to be doing something else.

I tend to reach for the Imperial Sizing Wax tin for most sizing/forming. A little on the fingers goes a long ways during sizing. Easy clean up as well off the hands and cases.

If I have sizing/forming that I surmise will be kinda on the edge of right difficult, I reach for the 40 year old tube of RCBS old style lube.

Both work well, but the Imperial has spoiled me over the years.

I finally finished off a can of Kiwi neutral clear wax, lasted many years. Not done that before, but am getting older I guess.

I have used several, including RCBS and Imperial, and decided the wax type was best for me. The cost per ounce on the new iterations put me off so I made my own. Melt and mix canners paraffin wax and petrolatum (Vaseline) in a double boiler. You can adjust the consistency of the finished product to suit by changing the proportions. Try one third petrolatum to start. A pound of paraffin wax and a large container of Vaseline will yield a lifetime supply of case lube for me, and I load eight to ten thousand rounds per year.
