This stuff is the s#it, I had a couple stuck cases while prepping 223, so I ordered some imperial die wax along with some other things and wow this stuff is amazing.

Barely used any of it and have done a few hundred cases without issue and far faster than using the liquid case lube and pads. If you haven't yet tried it, I highly recommend it.
 
Been using sizing wax for a couple years now. I used to use the Hornady spray on lube but the over spray was messy etc. Moved on to wax and never looked back.

Where did you get it from??
 
I've been using it for at least 10 yrs. Never had an issue and a little goes along ways. Wipe it on with my fingers (quicker then what it sounds) and wipe it off with a shop towel damped with a little varsol. Works great for case forming as well -ie 3006 to 7.7 Jap, 6.5 x55 to 7.5 X 54 are two that I have done.
 
I have been using it for years as well, the best by far! Buy the large tin and you are set for a long time, the Imperial Application Media is great for putting graphite on the necks of the cases too.
 
I have been using Imperial sizing wax for several decades now, and see no reason to use anything else.

I use it for regular sizing, and for case forming. I cannot remember when I last had a stuck case, but it would be at least 20 years ago.

It is really great stuff, and a little goes a long way.

Excellent stuff. I started reloading with an RCBS kit and always hated the goopy, gummy lube pad that came with it. A salesman suggested Imperial and I've never gone back nor seen any need to try anything else.

So far as media for graphite-lubing of necks, I found that a pill bottle 3/4 full of #8 or finer shot works just fine. A good squirt of graphite into the bottle, lid on and shake well. Works a charm, costs peanuts.

I started using the Lee stuff, got a bottle of RCBS stuff but never used it cuz it needed a pad. Then I got the sizing wax eons ago and have not even used enough to get near the bottom of the small tin.
 
I also finally got to the bottom of my little can of green Imperial sizing wax, made by Redding.
The new can was twenty bucks, but considerable larger, still made by Redding, but it is now a milky whit color.
