How do you guys lube your brass before sizing?

My favorite way is spraying on Lee case lubricant (the white stuff in the tube) after mixing it with denatured alcohol.    I squeeze 1/2 a tube of Lee Case Lube into a jar ,  add the alcohol and shake ,  keep adding a little alcohol and shaking until all the lube is dissolved and no solids remain.  It may separate a little after sitting for a spell but a shake will put it back in suspension.    Get a spray bottle with an adjustable nozzle .
Put cases on a towel ,  mist lightly , roll them around and mist lightly again.  Let dry for a minute.
The Lee lube is not greasy and can be cleaned with a damp wash rag.
It is water soluble but the alcohol mix makes it dry very quickly.
For tough resizing jobs nothing beats STP…greasy stuff is sometimes needed.  But most normal sizing the Lee spray-on lube works great .  It doesn’t “stink” and relatively inexpensive.

I like your method of the gloves and a large bin. Fast work there. I normally am only loading batches of 100 or 50 at a time depending on calibers these days and go the slow route of using the imperial wax by hand around the rim and mid section of the case.
I also use the dry imperial powder when I’m neck turning my long range rifle rounds. Works great.
Back in the day when I had my Dillion loading a lot more, I used a large cookie sheet, sprayed the Dillion case lube on them and shifted the pan back and forth a couple times to coat them on all sides. Made quick work, especially with the smaller .223 and . 204 calibers.

I have had cases stuck in sizing dies so bad the only thing left to do was to drill them out. It used to happen quite regularly even with various commercial lubes. After googling, I found a post somewhere where the gentleman swore up and down Lanolin was all you needed. I tried it and it works great without any bad smell.

    4oz Lanolin (about $4.50 on Amazon)
    around 8oz rubbing alcohol (typically I’ll use the 70% stuff but the 91% is fine)
Put the oil and alcohol in a bottle with a sprayer ala gwpercle and dkf.
Put the cases in a plastic coffee “can”. Shake the spray can vigorously and spray down the cases, shaking and rolling them around to get the oil on them.
Let them sit for the alcohol evaporates (I guess the 90% stuff would be quicker)
Size, expand and whatever else you need to do short of priming and charging.
Wash them off and dry them.

  I only lube the cases if I have a problem with the first few cases or the case type has a history of sticking in the sizing dies. I suppose STP would work. I like STP for restoring bolts and the like that are just rusted together with some kind of covalent bond or something :o. You toss them in a can filled with STP and let them sit a week. After that the bolts, or whatever, come right apart.

I use Imperial Sizing Die Wax, started using this after I got a 308 LC case stuck in my brand new SB sizing die. it was the first round and the can of one shot I had must have been sitting to long or I didn’t shake it up enough. 3 hours later I had that case out and now I use the wax on everything

I’ve tried them all too.  Anhydrous Lanolin is the best…..and cheapest.  I get a cheap 2 oz fingertip spray bottle in the cosmetics section at Wal-Mart for application on cases.  Squirt about 1/2-3/4 inch layer in the bottom of the spray bottle.  It doesn’t take much, as anhydrous lanolin is some slick stuff!!  Top it off with 91 or 99% rubbing alcohol.  The lower the %, the longer it takes to dry before actually sizing the cases.  I take a cool whip tub and fill it half-way up with cases.  Hit it with a couple sprays, then shake.  Repeat at least once, twice is better.  Here is the cool part……if you shake and swirl the cool whip tub, the cases will eventually stand up so the case mouth is pointing up.  LIGHTLY spritz the case mouths with the spray and you won’t get the “chatter” when pulling back through the sizing button.  Another added benefit is the shoulder datum line on the case will be much more consistent.  Believe me, if a case wants to “grip” the sizing button, you are moving brass in the shoulder area, thus changing the shoulder angle ever so slightly and this causes inconsistent headspace in each particular piece of brass.  Some cartridges are more susceptible than others, but they will all do it to some degree if the neck isn’t lubed correctly.  Long story short, try the lanolin and a cool whip tub, I think you will like it.
