Default Case Lube

What brand of Case lube do most Reloaders use? I still use the RCBS goop and roll it on the cases but is there a better way?

Dillon or Midway's alcohol/lanolin lube is great. Spray it on, wait for the alcohol to evaporate, and size away. Easier to clean of than the RCBS goop. Lee's wax is good, too. You can also use wire pulling lube as a case lube. Water based lubes are much easier to clean off than the others.

I started using Hornadies one shot one minute stuff and threw away my RCBS Pad. I have yet to have one stick in my sizer.

I think Hornady makes about the best and easiest except that the nozzle clogs, wasting half the can. I have been using Dillon's case lube with satisfaction also.

I use Imperial Sizing Die Wax. It's the only case lube I have ever used. A can seems to last forever.

I always used the RCBS goop and the pad until about a year ago then i started using the Hornady spray. I've had a couple cases to stick but i'm sure it's my spraying technique and not the spray. I've since went back to the Rcbs lube and pad but i'd really like to try something else. The wax looks like a good ideal so i may give that a try.

Handloader & Moturkey..........How do you apply it? Thanks!

I use RCBS, LEE. and the Hornady unique case lubes, its like a wax lube I guess. I like the LEE best as it cleans up the easiest. One thing to remember with the RCBS is a few drops will go a LOOONNNG ways

I would love to understand why the imperial is so good. I have a can, but its time consuming to lube compared to all the rest. I have been using it for the mouths, but thats the only advantage I see. Maybe someone could help me understand.
