For now, I have been using three different Lee reloading sets, although I will order a turret reloader next week. With the Lee hand reloader sets you have to pound the cases into sizing dies. The instructions say to use case lube to make it easier. I’ll be damned if I’ll pay ridiculous prices for an aerosol can of lanolin, half of which is wasted, and who still uses aerosol cans if they can help it? I did a quick search around the house. First ingredient in Bag Balm? Lanolin. Now the wife knows where to look when she can’t find it. I just need to touch the stuff with my fingertips, and then rub up to five cases between my fingers. You can’t even see it, but those cases sure glide into those sizing dies much easier now. When my carbide dies arrive I won’t need case lube any more, except for my travel reloading kit, but in the meantime this stuff works great.
