    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

    I allways used Lee lube on a mat untill recently.
    I now use Lyman Quick Slick.
    1 pass on either side of a tray with 50 shells and its done, insides as well.
    No stuck cases so far even on full sized cases.

    I used Lee and thought it was fine until I used the RCBS one.
    I roll cases on a pre-lubed pad
    and then dip the necks in a Lyman case Neck Dipper tub filled with Imperial dry lube

    The difference between the Lee and the RCBS is massive. Both do the job perfectly but the RCBS lasts at least ten times longer on the pad.
