[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 507399, member: 9215"] "...motor oil for sizing?" I've been reloading for well over four decades. I've used most commercial case lubes and find that most are sufficent. I've experimented with a lot of alternates; some work well, some work moderately well, some are prone to letting cases stick. Given that a good lube will prevent stuck cases, be easy to apply AND remove, be harmless to powder and primers and be low cost, there are several that work very well; motor oils are not among them. Even the most pricey case lubes are cheep in the quanities we use so attemps to 'save money' with them seems pointless. Well, except the expensive spray-on types, which I find pointless anyway. IMHO, the best of case lubes are soaps like the RCBS/Lee water solubles, or soft waxes like Imperial/Unique and equivilent alternates such as Kiwi Mink Oil and Sno-Proof boot treatments. Not only are they all great sizing lubes but they are harmless and easy to remove from both cases and fingers...and are plenty cheap enough. [/QUOTE]
