When I started reloading I was having cases slightly stick in the die as I pulled them out of the die. Not knowing any better I grabbed my can of Kiwi neutral shoe polish and rubbed my thumb and forefinger on it.
As I picked up a piece of brass I rubbed the polish on it. this solved the problem and the brass moved smoothly in and out of the die. Now, I consider this as a field expedient method but it works! Currently I use the lanolin/alcohol mix at 12:1. This never fails me.
I've been using Lyman for a long time, finally ran out and the last bit was really tough to size 300RUM brass with. Grabbed a tub of unique.. holy cow! That stuff is slick! I sized 400 pieces of 300 RUM and 300 pieces of 7mag with minimal effort. Also 223 cases were so lil effort I could feel any resistance at all sizing them. Great stuff!

I get along fine with one shot. I've never tried anything else. I've stuck a case before but it was the first one I tried in that session. Now I make sure the first case of the session has a lil extra lube to coat the die. I usually fill a loading tray with brass and give em a couple quick sprays from a couple angles. Sometimes I just lay em on a paper towel, spay em at an angle from the mouth end, roll em half a turn and hit em again.
I'm pretty surprised that nobody here uses Imperial Sizing Wax. A tin lasts for 30k+ rounds, and you'll never stick a case. Its a great product.
