Never fails when I start to reload I either find out that I cannot find the lube or I am out.

Does anyone have a home remedy that works, or personal substitute. If so can you share that with all of us

Someone said STP worked, although I haven't tried it. One thing you DON'T want to use is vaseline. It's worthless.

I love the new spray on stuff. SOOoooo quick and easy and easier to clean off the cases as well.

Wire pull lube from your friendly, and nearest, home supply or hardware store. I'd had my doubts since I'd never used it, but tried some on a whim. Works. sundog

I'VE NEVER USED CASE LUBE AS MY RESIZER DIES ARE CARBIDE. WHEN I GOT MY FIRST PRESS IT HAD LUBE WITH IT. THE DIES THAT COME WITH THE PRESS WERE NOT CARBIDE BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG TO GET MY LEE SPEED DIES. LUBIN CASES LOOKS LIKE A MESSY BITCH TO ME.

Mink Oil. The same kind used to waterproof and treat leather boots. I got the hint from an oldtimer many long years ago. I put just a very light dab one the side of my thumb, turned the casing around that spot and size. I immediately wipe the case. The stuff comes off easy. I have never had a stuck or collapsed shoulder, something I had with other lubs. I have been using it for maybe 20 years. Memory is foggy. It works. Give it a try. Remember, a little goes a long way. Experiment. What I really like about it, is how easy it comes off.
