[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2422551, member: 30902"] The two I'm most familiar with are bee's wax and carnuba oil. You can even put a little carnauba wax in with tumbling media to both give it an incredible smooth finish but also keeps the dust down. The guy who first mentored me when I started reloading kept a block of bee's wax on the bench and would just lightly stick the rim of the neck into the block and rotate a half turn. We were shooting flat based bullets at that time which can be a bit of a booger getting started. Some bullets come with a proprietary dry wax coating of some sort on them and I suspect it's one of the other or a combination of both. I also knew a guy who used paraffin the same way on his necks but over time paraffin can shrink so I was hesitant to ever try it. [/QUOTE]
