So 2 floz for $5.95 or $4.79 for 15 floz. of STP. A bottle of STP lasted me prob 10+ Years but actually was an old screw top can. Now I wished I kept it!
Sizing Lubricant Cost?

I haven't considered looking in my garage cabinets for sizing lube alternatives. Interesting.... Is cleaning your brass the same after using STP?

Butterbean got me going on STP a while back. Lightly smeared on with fingers and the sizing resistance is nothing. I wish I had switched a long time ago.
BB has been noticeably absent in recent days. I hope all is okay. I miss his input.

I ordered a spray bottle, 99% alcohol and lanolin right around Christmas after watching a 6.5 Guys
video.
I like it better than the old standard method. This seems to work fine for fired case resizing. And it's all pretty natural ingredients.

I know guys that spray WD-40 on fish lures when ocean fishing. They say fish like the smell . Maybe ? One of my dogs always tries to like it of of guns.
I've been using Hornady one shot. Not cheap but still on first can. Won't contaminate powder either (Gunwerks guys say so)
Stack case mouths up and spray inside case necks. Easy seating.milboltnut

my wife has acute asthma and most anything smelly triggers it.

We use to spray it on rubber worms when fishing for bass up in Canada back in the day. That's illegal in many place's now. Besides that, it made the fish taste fishy as my wife would sayI know guys that spray WD-40 on fish lures when ocean fishing. They say fish like the smell . Maybe ?
