Case lube on the cheap
4 oz pure liquid lanolin
$8.50
16 oz 91% alcohol
$1.09
For $9.59 made 20 oz. of really good case lube that you can spray on cases.
This is going to lube an awful lot of brass!

I would guess it would have to be removed after sizing so the lanolin wouldn't contaminate the powder/primers - right?
Let us know how it works out. But for me, I think I'll just stick with Hornady One Shot. A can last me a fairly long time.

I guess I've never thought of case lube as expensive. A bottle of the stuff lasts forever, even shooting huge volumes, I figured up once that I actually spend more on vinegar per batch of brass to ultrasonic clean the lube off of the case than I spend on the lube itself, and vinegar is CHEAP!
