Imperial Sizing Die Wax works well-now distributed by Redding w/a green tint & in a smaller tin.


Keep'em in the X ring,

Everyone I get to try Imperial Sizing Die Wax becomes a convert. I have used most types of lube but MUCH prefer the Imperial. It takes very little to get the case to size easily and you will not dent cases with over application of lube since it takes so little.

I have some of the Imperial Die Sizing Wax, but I much prefer the spray on lubes like the stuff Dillon sells in the pump bottle. It goes on much faster than having to screw with each case seperately. When you do most of your loading on a progressive machine, (not .50 BMG but everything else), I like to use products that don't slow down the reloading process. Otherwise what's the point of paying for the speed of a progressive machine? Imperial is good for resizing the big, hot loaded Magnums, and even for the .50, but the spray ons are much quicker.

The spray on lubes work really on a Q-Tip for lubing the inside of the case mouth which is very important. I've never stuck a case in a die, but 90% of the ones I've seen were because of the lack of lubrication in the case mouth. When they tried to pull the expander back out through the neck, it sheared off the rim in the shell holder. Bill T.

Bill, agreed about the spray on and progressive presses. I do not load with a progressive anymore as I mostly shoot big magnums anymore so the thought did not even cross my mind. When I used to load 44 and 30-06 on my old progressive press I only used spray lubes on those.
