What sort of lubicant should be used on our press rams ? Real oil smells and collects crudlight oil seems to collect alot of crud too . I tried case lube made a mess . Iused touse W-D its cheap so I can wash the crud off with it , but I've heard the stories about it creaping out of your resting gun and into primers . Any sugestions are welcome most of my equiptment is second hand and manual free .

The lube I have always used and always will use is Rem Oil (remington oil). It does not collect crud because itevaporates quickly, and still protects you gun.I also use Bright Bore barrel cleaner by remington. I have never had a gun rust with this oil unless I abused it by putting it in an area full of moisture (accident) or by just not cleaning it (my fault).

I posted about this a while back and from most of the posts it was determined rem oil works the best. Since then I have been using rem oil, it does work great. Ive also heard hornady one shot and rem dri lube also work. but i feel the rem oil protects the metal better.

Hornady One-Shot, or Rem oil.

Rem oil is the way to go. I figured that out after I used Wal*Mart 3 in 1 lube...

LOL i figured out that the old RCBS case lube dont work worth a darn either felt like I was trying to push the ram through frozen molasses

WD40 was not meant to be a lubricant. WD= water displacement.
I use wd40 on my guns after hunting in the rain. After the WD40 I clean the gun and then apply oil to the metal

One-shot. I'm sick of that Lee crap you have to rub on

careful using that wd-40 on your guns its known to eat away blueing.

I've started using Imperial sizing die wax. It did not muck up my dies as some others have (RCBS and LEE). I was very happy with it's performance.
