    forster case lube

    Can anyone point me to a supplier of this elixir in the UK (who has it in stock). The official distributor is Hanmans (sp) but they are not answering emails.
    Thanks

    Whether it's in stock or not is not known.

    Thanks for that Simon. I wanted the Forsters because I'de found it to be the best of the lubes available by far (It made sizing .303 PPU brass like sizing new Winchester brass)
    This stuff looks like it could be a good alternative, I'll give it a go.

    If you get 5lt of Propan-2-ol (99.9%) and 2 bottles (2x118ml) of pure lanolin (typical quantities available online) and mix them all together you'll get a 21:1 mix and a lifetime's supply, almost.

    Listening to the experts on the net, anywhere from 10:1 to 25:1 seems to work. But 21:1 I know works and this way you have no leftovers and it makes measuring a doddle. Just let the alcohol evaporate before you size.
    Good deals with: Muskett, Dreben, roger.kerry, TALL, Helidave1, Chelseablue, Leeroy7031, Mousemann, pnuk, Practical, NEWFI, HOOGS, Webb22, lazybones1416 and deanw5262 among others. Thanks Guys.
