Case Oil

[MikB]

Hi guys, getting into reloading for my 38/357 Marlin and possibly 762 and have a few Qs for the experienced elders!,
what case lube do you use
is it worth making my own as been looking at how to do it as it looks fairly simple to do with lanolin and alcohol, is it any good
What powder do you use
would i need a different one for each caliber
Thanks in advance

I used some bright red gel, I think Hodgdon's. There was a cartoon character in a coonskin hat on the front. I used 2 bottles in about 30 years regular reloading in .32 ACP, 9mm.P, .44 Mag, 7,62 NATO, .303 and .577 Snider.

I found you only needed to lube about 1 case in 3, and I preferred steel dies even though they might wear a little.

You very certainly do need different powders for rifle calibres from pistol. Don't load anything until you understand what that's about.
