Hello,
I thought i would take a moment to share my findings about cheaper case lube. After buying several cases of Dillon Case lube at over $7.00 per bottle i got sick of the rediculous prices. After reading the bottle and seeing that the ingredients are simply Isopropyl Alcohol and Lanolin. I had to see if i could reproduce the product. I purchased several types and purities of alcohol from 70%-99% and 2 types of lanolin (solid and liquid). After many tries I now have in my opinion the same product, but with a total cost of under $3.00 per bottle.
You must use the 99% Isopropyl Alcohol with Solid Pure Lanolin. I found it best to heat up a large pot of boiling water (about 1/3 full). Take a smaller but taller pot and place it in the boiling water. Mix the Lanolin and Alcohol to a ratio of 10 parts Alcohal to 1 part Lanolin inside the smaller pot. Stir until the Lanolin is completely in liquid form and completely mixed with the alcohol. I used a old tea pitcher to poor the mix into the spray bottles i saved from the Dillon lube after it cooled a bit.
Note: The above is what worked for me. Do not purchase a large amount of this stuff without trying it first. Also the 70% alcohal did not work properly because the water content prevented proper mixing.
Here are the links for the solid lanolin and 99% alcohol.
