homemade case lube

[Highland Lofts]

I've been using the red can of dry gas and liquid lanolin for a few years now with good results.
I always wet tumble with hot tap water, a 1/2 teaspoon of Lemishine Booster, a cap full of ArmorAll Wash n Wax and a small squirt of Dawn Dish soap.
Tumble 45 minutes to an hour. Drain & rinse until water comes out clean,
Then fill back up with hot tap water, add a cap full of ArmorAll Wash n Wax, let it run. For ten to fifteen minutes.

When resizing rifle I apply a small amount of lube and give it plenty enough time to dry.
For pistol I apply a little lube once in a while, very little.

I have a corrugated cardboard box about a cubic foot that I have used for applying Dillon lube for the past 35 years. The walls of the box are so soaked with lanoline that I rarely have to add new Dillon lube and can just shake cases around in the soaked box. In the past 35 years I am on my second spray bottle of Dillon lube and I have over half of the second bottle left. I never understood why I would want to mess around with making my own lube?

Are you wet tumbling the lubed just reloaded ammo? Like mentioned above I use corn cob media to clean off the lanoline from freshly loaded ammo.

For straight walled pistol cases I setup station one with RCBS decapping lube dies on my 650XL. RCBS lube dies are useless for bottle neck cases but perfect for straight walled cases. Some people say that lube isn't really necessary for straight walled pistol cases... but the cases run through my progressive quicker and slicker than snot when lubed with a lube die.

I only use Dillon lube on bottlenecked cases.

That is an important key…..
A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY….!!!
