    1st choice - hornady unique
    2nd choice - imperial sizing die wax

    tub of the hornady stuff is less than $ 10 and will do thousands of cases...

    For something so cheap to buy in the first place I don't know why you would want to even try. After a couple of stuck cases it will look fairly cheap to buy an off the shelf product.

    for neck sizing, I'm using massiveattack's idea. Some graphite powder in a tub of lead shot. Brilliant, and dry.

    I have been looking and been well side tracked, do you have a link to that or a clue to what the thread may have been

    Mostly use Hornady but also this one time at band camp...

    Made up some 50/50 Beeswax Vaseline when I was mucking around with cast bullets and paper patching. Added a bit of the red carnauba wax off some expensive cheese and if you think that stuff makes your car shiny, it makes your barrel like a mirror.

    Patroleum products are supposed to root your powder so probably shouldn't use Vaseline.
