Howdy-
I've had the RCBS Bench Priming Tool for several years now and one thing that has always been a sticking point (pun intended), is the lubrication of the plunger stem; in particular, along the length of said stem. I've normally used a SMALL amount of very light oil, sometimes fortified with molybdenum disulfide in the form of Henkel SLA-1286 (a moly additive used by oil formulators, I wound up with a gallon of the stuff!). I'm very careful not to overdo it and any excess gets immediately wiped from the shell holder. Still, I'm nervous about possible primer contamination and am considering using some Krytox grease cut with some silicone oil to lube this part... it's worth a try in my opinion.
I was wondering what those in the THR family happen to use with respect to lubing the plunger stem in this most excellent tool. Any input/advice is truly appreciated, thank you very much in advance.
