I found a how to on YouTube for making case lube.
Really east and it works great. Be sure to get liquid lanolin. ( not the cream) Had to go to a health food store. One 4 oz jar cost about $9. 12 ounces of 99% isopropyl alcohol. The best source I found was "heat" at Auto Zone. Its sold as a fuel additive. Cost about $1. Mix one oz of lanolin with 12 oz of heat and put it in a spray bottle. Works much like hornady one shot, even smells the same but at a fraction of the cost and I think it actually works better.I went a little light on the alcohol making the lube ratio a tad higher. The trick is to allow enough time for the alcohol to evaporate leaving only the lube. Sure this has probably been covered before but on the chance it hasn't I thought I' share it. |

You know what is even cheaper? Johnson's Paste wax and odorless paint thinner. 1:4 paste wax to thinner, then a few good sprays over the running tumbler full of cleaned brass, then run until the thinner dries. Less messy, no need to remove after sizing. No possible way for it to migrate into powder or primer once it dries. |
