[QUOTE="LongProng, post: 1777764, member: 107038"] If I am doing more than 20-40 reloads I use the Alcohol / Lanolin mix. After loading it wipes off easily with a cloth or some people tumble (I don’t). If I’m doing a small number of loads or test loads or work ups, I use Imperial Wax. Same as the lanolin, I just wipe it off with a cloth after loading. You really can’t go wrong with either. If using the lanolin mix, you can put your cases in a gallon zip lock, give them a few sprays and work the lube around. Dump them on a tray and let them dry a few minutes before using. The lanolin to alcohol is 1:10 to 1:12 ratio and make sure you buy liquid lanolin. Do not use the stuff that comes in a tube for nursing mothers. You can buy it cheap off Amazon. For 99% alcohol, a cheap and easy source is Heet fuel line antifreeze available in the auto section at Walmart or any auto parts store. You can also buy 99% off Amazon. Most stores only carry up to 91%. Don’t use less than 99% as it has too much water in it to mix and dry properly. [/QUOTE]
