Has anyone done it?

Has it worked out?

As I was looking and not finding any at the shops , I looked online, well, it's either out of stock or $35.00 can to get one to your door.

They are alcohol based with some type of wax lubricant, so somebody must have a recipe for success.
 
I read somewhere 1:14 lanolin to alcohol but I used 1:10 because it was easier to measure out lol.

I lube my rifle and pistol cases. No probs at all.
 
What you need are:-

Pump bottle.

Isopropyl alcohol 99% (not 70%)

Tube of Lee case lube.

Squirt 1" of lube into the bottle, add 4 - 6oz of Iso., shake well and spray cases. I use an old cookie sheet to lay out the case and roll them around. I tend to size the batch while the are wet.

YMMV.
 
You needn't be too precise re. the ratio of 99% isopropyl and liquid lanolin...
I use 12:1 as a starting point, but have gone thinner as well.
It all depends on how much lubricant you want to end up on your cases... The alcohol is just the conveyance for the gloriously slick lanolin.
 
I've got my RCBS case lube which I also thought may work.

Jeez,

You would think that someone would know where I can find these 2 items locally here in Edmonton.

I am phoning around and no one has either.

Amazon has them but my prime shipping doesn't cover it.
