How do you lube your rifle brass?

RCBS lube pad works for me for rifle, I don't use anything on pistol brass, I just tumble them with a little very fine rubbing compound and they come out waxed, clean and shiny.
 
For rifle brass, I swipe left index finger over open can of Imperial sizing die wax, smear over case with left index finger and thumb while rotating case with right hand and inspecting for defects. Then scrape teh case mouthaccross my left thumb to get just a little on the inside edge.

Size away...

Never had a stuck case yet.

For pistol brass with carbide dies, I do the same as above, but only lube every tenth case or so. This makes the press stroke on tapered wall pistol brass (i.e. 9x19) with MUCH less effort.
 
Ok, so, i got the mink oil and it worked great and was cheap too. I also got the imperial sizing wax and it worked great too. I'll stick with the imperial and save the mink oil for my boots. The stroke is so smooth up and down. No binding or sticking.

Lyman pad and Lyman case lube. Quick and easy and not as messy as the spray ones I have tried.

Same method here. Works well for all my rifle cases. Even when sizing military .30-'06 down to 7.7Jap I've never come close to sticking a case.
