I'm currently using Imperial sizing wax which works wonderfully. The only complaint I have is that it does take a while to rub down each case individually. Once I resize them, I generally just throw them in my wet tumbler which seems to remove the lube easily.
As I'm looking for ways to spend up my reloading for plinking ammo, I read about lanolin and 99% alcohol. It would be significantly faster to squirt a bit of it on a bunch of cases in a bag or tub and roll them around. This seemed like a no brainer until I started reading about people trying to remove the lube. It seems like many people are saying dawn and stainless steel pins don't seem to get it off. So so guys recommend spraying the cases down with alcohol and rubbing them around in a towel, etc. Others recommend dry tumbling for a few hours (I really hate to go back to this). Either way all of the recommendations seem to add an extra step. Is it really any faster to use this lube if you have add an extra step to remove the lube?
Now I'm debating if I should just stick with the Imperial wax since I know how well it works. Or is it still worth it to make the switch?
