What is the best case lube, Hornaday one shot case lube, RCBS case lube-2, or?

Imperial die wax is my choice.

Imperial wax for me, but I also use RCBS lube every now and then.

Since I only reload for one gun (.338WM rifle), I wash the wax off, then dry the cases before using them the next day. I don't use a tumbler.

Best, by far, I have ever found is S to S (Sport to Sport) by Ponsness Warren, go to Precision Reloading.com and they sell it $4.95 per 2oz or .02lb jar, whatever it is it will last you a LONG time, as a very small amount is needed and it wipes clean, off the case. Try it you will NOT be sorry.

Good Hunting, "Z"

I use RCBS for a long time and it seem to work fine for me. I did try Lee many years ago and didn't like it, it sets up in the relief hole my dies. Also used Hornady spray once and didn't like it, gets down in the case try or whatever your holding your cases in.

I'll stick with RCBS, although I have been told that Imperial wax is good stuff, might try some some day.

I've used most of them, including PAM. For longer runs of sizing I always seem to go back to RCBS and their pad. It's water soluble and easy to remove. For shorter runs Imperial Sizing Wax. The sprays are OK but don't work well for my reloading procedure. Sizing isn't a big deal. Most anything will work, just choose the one that fits your reloading style.

I'll be the odd one out, here. I had trouble with a very rough sizing die (cheap??) in 10.75x68 which was compounded by a sloppy chamber, which led to repeated stuck cases. I started using Copa-Slip grease as a case lube. (The stuff machinists use to facilitate press-fits). The grease is clean, a tiny amount suffices, and a quick wipe and a tumble removes any residue. I now use Copa-Slip for all my case lubrication, without any problems.

I like Hornady Case Lube-- it's pure beeswax. A little goes a very long way.
