[QUOTE="BillR, post: 390207, member: 462"] From what I can tell its a 50/50 mix of bee's wax and mink oil. Has some Ivory bar soap shaved off the bar and mixed in and that is about it. I will say this though. That stuff is slick. Yesterday I swedged the primer pockets and I even put some of it on the swedging pin and it made doing that easy. I'm using a RCBS primer pocket swedger. Took about 2 hours to do the 500 and some cases once I got the rod adjusted right. I thought that it was going to be a pain to get the stuff off the cases but that was a pretty simple job to do. Wife wasn't home so I put them in the sink and ran it full of hot water and used dawn dish detergent and let them soak a few minutes and agitated the cases by hand a bit and then dumped them in my wife's calender and rinsed them with clean hot water and then shook them around a bit to get the water out and then dumped them on a bath towel and rolled it up around them and shook the heck out of them and the water pretty all came out. I then put them in a metal ammo can and put that over one of the furnace duct's and this morning them seem to be dry so it was a pretty simple job to clean them up. Something I noticed was that the mix seems to clean off most if not all of the carbon left on the case even though I tumbled them prior to resizing them to clean off the dirt there was still some carbon left there. So from what I can tell if you have a tough job of resizing some cases this stuff works like a champ. [/QUOTE]
