Cheap sub for Imperial Sizing Wax, available everywhere.

I use Unique and do not see a need to switch.

Imperial Sizing Wax. Cheap, easy to find, works perfectly (if you use it correctly), and cleans up quickly. No rifle reloader should be without it.

Another vote for Imperial. Once you buy it, you'll toss the rest of your die lubing products IMO. I did.

For rifle, Unique (http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=758495&t=11082005)
For pistol, carbide dies, so no lube needed. But if I feel lazy, a squirt of One-Shot (http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=438512&t=11082005)will make resizing easier.

In 48 years of reloading I have tried every commercial lube and lots of hooomebreeeeeeeew as well. Nothing beats Imperial Sizing Die Wax.

Dillon's and Cabela's spray lubes are pretty good (I think they might be identical)
Castor oil also works well.

All of you who love Imperial, as I do, should try the Mink Oil (a wax) too, I think it's the same stuff!

I've just started using Hornady's One Shot - I LIKE IT
I put the cases in somethnig like a tupperware container, with lid, add 2 - 4 shots, let it dry for a minute and I'm ready. Have had no stuck cases, not even close to a stuck case.
My old RCBS Lube pad is now in the "bottom drawer".
