    I really don't know why you would bother trying to substitute Imperial wax with some witches brew when Imperial works and is cheap.
    Overkill is still dead.

    Ive not used the lanolin/IPA brew on rifle cases (necked etc)
    but run a bunch of .45acp through a dillon and had zero issues with the lanolin/IPA brew.

    I reckon for a big loading session the wax would be far too slow???
    Never used the wax so not sure how long that method takes??

    Plus squeezing the lanolin out of attractive young sheep is much more fun than picking wax outta old coots ear holes.
    Use enough gun
