I'm tired of the old lube pad and case lube contaminating my tumbling media.Has anyone been useing the finger applyed wax type lubes and how do they preform.I know about the sprays but not interested in them. hdbiker
The one I used for many years and was much nicer to work with regarding your concerns, is Lee dry lube. I always applied it with my finger tips, and not only did work really well, but it was also inexpensive and a tube would last me forever. I've never tried Imperial, but I've been told it is very similar to the Lee.
My go to lube is Imperial Sizing Wax. You only need a LITTLE lube on your fingers that you apply to the sides of the case and a little on the inside of the neck of the case.
The only spray lube I've tried is Hornady One Shot. If you use it liberally and promptly size the cases, it works OK. Use it any other way and you stand a real risk of getting a case stuck in the die.
As for contaminating your case cleaning media goes, I'm sure Imperial sizing wax will contaminate it after a time though not as fast as with the gooey RCBS lube I used to use. My desire to get very pretty cases and remove all lube of whatever type I choose to use is why I've gone to useing stainless steel media for case cleaning.
Imperial, Imperial, Imperial.
Never even came close to a stuck case.
I bought a can a couple years ago. A couple thousand rounds later, there's barely an indention in it. Lasts forever.
Lyman lube on a pad works for me. Easy to use, fast, easy to remove when sizing is done. It was the first thing I tried and I've had no reason to switch.
I use RCBS Case Lube 2, and it works very well. I wash my brass with warm water and a few drops of Dawn dish detergent before I tumble. Let the brass dry for a day or two and then tumble.
