[QUOTE="BillR, post: 389577, member: 462"] Thanks for the comments guys. You would not believe how good it felt to finally find something that would work. Like taking a 100 lb hate ball off my shoulders but I had this problem. one of those "I will be damned if I am going to let this whip me things" I knew there had to be some way of doing it. Also none of those water soluble lubes worked. It does work fine with commercial once fired brass. Something I tried along the way was to take a once fired FC .308 case and size it to see if it was the die or the case or the lube and the FC cases sized with just a bit more pressure than what this Mink oil mix did using the LC brass but it did work in what I call the normal range. Take a LC case and try it and if you weren't very careful it stuck. I really wasn't trying to be funny with the first post I made under the post of "When is being stubborn too stubborn" but while I was posting I got to laughing at myself about how stubborn I actually was and with the cost of commercial brass I could of probably purchased a bunch of Lapua brass for about the same amount but like my wife says. I seldom take the easy route. When she married me 27 years ago my comment to her was beat me kick me hit me just don't bore me and we will get along fine. She remembers that to this day. But she also says I do take some things to a bit of an extreme at times to keep from being bored or beaten. What I really need to do now though is figure out why this mix works so well. What in the mix is actually making it work and combination is doing it. Part of the reason for my doing it is this, as well as this stuff worked it would be absolutely awesome for making wildcat brass with very little effort and none of the oil dents etc. to the brass. It also didn't seem to make any difference how much I put on.
