Home made spray case lube.

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.

This times 1000!

The 99% isopropyl is getting harder to get because people use it to turn pot into hash oil.

You can buy 1 litre bottles at most electronic parts stores I got mine from sayal.
 
If you already have liquid case lube, you don't even have to mix up a spray. Put a small amount in a large Ziploc-type bag and shake your brass around in it to distribute the lube. The advantage of this is that you don't have to wait for the solvent to evapourate.
 
Make sure you get the 99% iso alcohol - most rubbing alcohol you find in the stores is 60-70% alcohol with balance being water. Water in your lube is not an ideal situation.

I mix 10-1 alcohol to lanolin, and spray it on very lightly.

Stand the cases in a row or double row, spray from 6" to the side and 6" above the cases so that you get a bit of spray inside the mouth. Give the alcohol a minute to evaporate and go for it.
 
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.
If you can't find any lanolin,I can get you some and ship it to ya.
It's about $11 a bottle.
 
I have a can of Fluid Film. I sprayed a light coat on a RCBS lub pad I've had for years but never used. Rolled five-six cases at a time on the pad then a little wipe of Fluid Film with my finger on the case neck. Worked great.
 
I'm not able to find a local source of liquid lanolin. Amazon seems a bit expensive.
Has anyone tried using castor oil and 99% isopropyl alcohol?
