homade case lube prices

billy · 06-28-2008, 10:16 AM

4 oz pure liquid lanolin
$8.50
16 oz 91% alcohol
$1.09

for $9.59 i just made 20 oz. of really good case lube that i can spray on cases.
this is going to lube an awful lot of brass!

i like lubing my pistol cases.
i know ive got carbide dies in every handgun caliber i own but it makes it even easier to process.
and it seems to be kinder on the dies.

wow for only 7.00 you could have bought the dillon case lube.
and you only have to lube a portion of the cases like 25% if that...

it's not 7 bucks here buddy.
more like 10 bucks for 5.5 oz.
and i dont know how much of that is the alcohol carrier.

i really like being able to just go to the supermarket and buy this stuff.
no shipping fees or waiting for the few gunstores around here to be open when i am not at work.

Glad you like it Bill. I have been using PAM for the past two weeks. I like low fat bullet recipes. lol

billy · 06-28-2008, 12:52 PM

i like to put 100 pistol cases in a baggie and give them a spritz or two then jumble them around for a minute.

roadie · 06-28-2008, 02:33 PM

I have been using synthetic motor oil, it usually does about 10 cases before needing to be reapplied...about $4 at wallyworld...and yes I tumble the lube off the cases afterwards.

Well, except for that cleaning the lube part off after I size them.

the lube doesnt effect the powder so i dont worry about it.
i wipe em off afterwards but it isnt a biggie.

billy · 06-28-2008, 04:11 PM

they get sized ,deprimed, primed ,filled and a bullet is seated in seconds.

GlockMeister · 06-28-2008, 04:34 PM

Billy, what is the ratio you mixed it at? Did you just use all of both items in a spray bottle or did you have some of both or one left? What ratio?

jimkim · 06-28-2008, 04:40 PM

1 part lanolin
4 or 5 parts 99% alchohol

And if it's only 91% alcohol instead of 99%, that doesn't change the ratio or mixture then?

jimkim · 06-28-2008, 05:19 PM

No. You just have to shake it up when your using it.

billy · 06-28-2008, 06:09 PM

my assistant jim here will answer any questions.

gandog56 · 06-28-2008, 07:35 PM

A sprinkle a day, will keep stuck cases away!

I always take the lube off so that the cases can grip the chamber walls and don't have so much case head pressure.

billy · 06-28-2008, 10:01 PM

like i said.
i wipe em off.
