    Case lube

    Which case lube do you use, or do you make your own from lanolin and isopropyl alcohol.
    Also what is your favorite way of applying the lube.

    Are you using the Lee lube on a pad and rolling?
    How are you lubing the inside of the neck?

    imperial is the best i believe.....

    Lee lube or One Shot (predominantly) is what i use without any tears or disappointment to date

    Case lube

    A small quantity of STP on a foam pad.....keeps the cases nice and shiny. Not recommended for inside the neck.

    I just put some on my fingers and coat the neck part. then ever 3rd case I put some the inside with cotton bud.
    You don't need a lot on though. You can use this and just reload the case with it on will not hurt anything. don't have to clean it off

    Imperial here too, I used to faff around rolling cases on a lube pad with lee case lube but was messy dirty and generally a pain in the ass so switched to imperial and really like it I just tend to keep one hand with a bit between my fingers as it takes so little. I've never had a stuck case with imperial either. It's just so simple and lasts forever. I always found it very difficult to get a uniform coating on cases with lube pad. Either too much or not enough. Lol

    Another vote for imperial wax here, plus they do a little tub containing some stuff for lubricating inside the neck. Pretty good stuff as well.

    Lee on a finger it goes a long way, inside neck with a cotton bud.
    It is water based so no probs with oil in or on case no need to remove
