Gone 'home-brew' on my case lube... Lanolin and 99% isopropyl alcohol.

[IndyGlockMan]

That's all Dillon case lube is... Lanolin & 99% isopropyl
Not sure of the mix ratio though.
I also give a light mist of it on pistol cases.
Afterwards, I just dump the loaded rounds into a terry cloth towel and mush them around for a minute, flip the towel over and repeat.
No problemo...

Works for me...

^^^Got this from Amazon, added a 12 oz. bottle of Heet (Red Bottle), and I now have a great lube to replace my empty Dillon case lube bottle.

I just "Eyeballed" about 1/4th. of the Lanolin bottle (1 oz.), added the 12 oz. Heet bottle into a spray bottle + shake.
I got a few case dents on the first .223 brass that I was working until I backed off a little on the coverage..Works GREAT...Bill.

PS:Since I have Amazon Prime-No Shipping $$=The 13oz. mix cost me right @ $4.25=Pretty cheap for GOOD STUFF....

That's the exact stuff I use. It's tempting to over use now that you can make a giant jug for nothing.

I know it is uncommon these days, but not all pistol dies have a carbide insert. If you pick up an old set of RCBS, Lyman, or Pacific pistol dies from a gun show, they may be the plain steel dies and will still need case lube.

Is everybody ordering this stuff from amazon or is there any department store that sells Lanolin?

The last time I checked (A year or so ago) I could NOT find it..The only thing close was a "Jell" type of Lanolin....I tried it and it did NOT work worth a Sheet...Bill.

I have bought lanolin in a toothpaste tube style packaging at a drug store.

I started using lanolin/Heet shortly after I started reloading for my AR. I use a 1:12 dilution, reason is I tend to over spray
it's crucial to allow at least 20 some minutes drying time before sizing. it works perfect for me and is definitely economical. For lanolin sources try Whole Foods, health food stores or natural stores.
