Pam. Light-generous spray, shake, size, tumble, prime, powder, bullet, done.
for those of you that think the wax don't work very well , you may want to try giving you dies a good cleaning or try different dies , in my case the RCBS were the worst I tried , again I just got the wax today and will be doing more testing with other cals and dies , but so far it seems to be as good as the Redding pad and Lube ,
Over the years I've use Lee Lube , Dillon Spray lube, STP , Spray Pam, Car waxes, RCBS lube and there pad (the cloth one) and some other home made stuff, up tell now the Redding Lube has worked the best
You are in for a new experience when you try LC 7.62 blinged with stainless steel media, especially using a small-base sizer. That appears to be the ultimate test and separates real lube from wannabes.
I've heard astroglide works wonders too
that's pretty much what the Dillon spray is , works great but messy and takes more work to clean off12 parts 99% ISO. 1 part liquid lanolin. You've tried the rest now try the best. One bottle will lube 200,000+ bottleneck cases.
I lube 223 brass with a homemade mixture of isopropanol and lanolin. The spray bottle releases a mist, so not much gets applied.I have been reading about all kinds of home formulas for case lubing, such as lanolin and isopropyl alcohol. In all the discussions of the various home lubes, no one mentions whether you have to wipe off the lube from each case after sizing. So I wonder if I can just put the lubed pistol cases in my progressive press and go from start to finish? How about 223 cases.

Sorry, GW Staar, if you are trying to tell everyone that Imperial Sizing Die Wax is no good, you are going to have a tough sell. It's a proven product.
Machinegun fired 7.62x51 brass is tough to resize period - and trying to bring it back into spec is tough on lube, press, and patience.
....and I found that tumbling it with stainless adds to the friction for some unknown reason. However, this recent experience proved to me that Imperial is not up to that task...not even close.
Who woulda thought clean shiny brass would be harder to size?
For experiments gone bad.

I prefer a fine thread mec, tap and bolt with a 3/8 drive socket , and it don't matter how good your case lube is , it don't work if it is not on the caseFor experiments gone bad.

Knock on wood but I've been reloading since 1981 and haven't stuck one yet. Once I feel resistance beyond a certain level I stop pushing on the handle.Any way, cheap insurance, buy a stuck case remover and squirrel it away. It will get used at some point. (Never say never!!!!)
