Must be a West Coast thang.??? Well… rrrrrrrrrrr
Nah it's called preference and necessity. That's why we have choices just like the firearms we buy...Someone once told me, most people that don't lube pistol cases, have never tried it. I think he was right.
lanolin mix ... I lube all my pistol cases that I load. 9,40,45acp
Lanolin mix is good also
Those that use lanolin based lube and magazine fed semi-auto guns, consider checking bullet setback as myth busting done for One Shot produced no bullet setback wet or dry lubing inside of case but lanolin lube (Bag Balm) produced bullet setback - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...affect-on-neck-tension-bullet-setback.834035/Now I do the wet tumble thing and lube with red iso heat and lanolin
@longdayjake , when you start your apparel line, this has gotta be on a hoodie. I’d wear it on a sponsored competition shirt…Lubrication is good. ALWAYS!
Good thing you didn't say 100% . But I also don't use a PTX to expand or an expanding die with a floating insert. Not saying anyone shouldn't use case lube with carbide dies if they so desire. I just prefer not to; and have found ways to make it unnecessary. I lube bottleneck rifle cases out of necessity but wash it off before loading.@longdayjakeI‘ve read a few posts where they don’t lube and that’s ok, that’s what pistol carbide dies tout, but I’m 99% sure they don’t wet tumble without wash and wax.
Look at the nature of those that give the positive response. How are they loading. I don't expect 100% agreement in any direction ever, but I expect a large percentage of progressive loaders to agree. Those that are older and have arthritis will use techniques to reduce their fatigue and injury. Those things are born out in the responses given. In my case of being below the median age and loading single stage makes my answer obvious....Advice from a professional. -Lube your pistol cases
I took advice from professionals a long time ago to buy carbide pistol dies and not lube. It has worked for me. Everyone who lubes agrees with you. Everyone who doesn't lube doesn't agree with you. Ford vs Chevy.
Banjos have springs?Lanolin mix is good also. I use Dillon case lubricant (DLC) for rifle. Lube is cheap. No reason not to use it. Unless you are tighter than a banjo spring.
This, especially as shoulder joint/arm strength getting weaker. ALOT easier, and am not using enough to worry about cleaning off.I used to consider sizing hundreds of cases good exercise for my throwing shoulder, but now I'm old,
and I started lightly lubing every 10thish 9MM cases when sizing with a carbide sizer some time back.
So much easier.
