Newb question regarding case lube

[anigmanm]

I switched to Imperial sizing wax after my last stuck case, have not had another in 3 years. A little dab on your finger tips, rub it on the brass while your fingers are inspecting for problems.

I’ve been using the imperial sizing wax since the late 90’s. No stuck cases, a little goes a long way too.

I'm a lanolin and isoheat guy too at 1/10 oz mis. Seems to be working fine for me on 223, 300 BLK, and 308.

I used to use RCBS case lubes even though it was a little messy. Wes told me to use Unique case lubes. It's AWESOME!
I do all stages in batches of 100 to 500 cases with the Lee Handheld press. One cannot overlube with Unique and you won't stick your cases!
A doctor's and a hospital's screwup made me a paraplegic confined to bed most of the time. My reloading room is upstairs and therefore inaccessible.
I got several thousand rounds of 7.62X51 military range brass and around 5,000 rounds of 5.56X45 from Wes. All told, I sized over 8,000 rounds without a hitch!
I did end up adding 2 - 1"x16" wooden rods as extension handles on the Lee Handloader cause that 7.62X51 brass was difficult to size!
For what it's worth, I gained a lot more upper body strength!
Unique also cleans up really great too.
And it's great for leather products.

Yeah, lanolin and Iso-heet is the way to go. I toss a bunch in a cardboard box, spray them and toss them around until they get fairly well lined. Let them sit about a half hour or so, then resize and tumble the lanolin off in walnut shell with nu-finish and mineral spirits mix (50/50 mix, I squirt in about a half ounce every time I tumble)

Good luck, hope this helps! And remember to trim those .223! That's a big problem with those.

I've been looking online and asking questions and just ordered some of the Hornady Unique lube. Going to give it a go with that.
