Not at all. Makes sense to process to value add. Took a bit of searching to find it, but 100 gr = what? 8 or 10 or more tablespoons? Each spray bottle of case lube at the gun shop is $25, but once it settles you can clearly see it's a tablespoon or less of lanolin and 200ml of meths hahaha. It's an amazing substance, obvious why sheep don't give a damn about rain

EDIT: It's also awesome on leather

Lanocoat I think

Oh yeah that's right, Lanocote. Comes as a spray or in a tub. Repco carries it too.

I have been using Inox for years (not tested of course...) and am very happy with it. They also do a product called Lanox which has lanolin in it. A bit stickier.

Also makes a brilliant case lube . Used to be able to buy lanolin without any difficulty. Havent seen it around lately.
somewhere in my files (ahem)I have a formula for a powder solvent and gun lube from Frankford Arsenal dated 1800's which includes amoungst many other exotics lanolin at 5% that claims to prevent rust in black powder bores ,cannons etc. I made a batch up many years ago and found it worked very well. Sometimes the old stuff is just fine. I did note however that in a 22 unless you really cleaned up all traces of it from the bore it took about 40 rounds for the bore to condition.

Look up Ed's Red in the interweb for a recipe.

I tried to get some WD40 Long Term.. in NZ but not imported/retailed.
I did however talk a Hastings outfit (Shyn4u) into getting in some Corrosion-X and it's as good as they claim
