Cleaning & lubing powder measure

[444shooter]

Just bought a new Hornady powder measure, and it states that it must be cleaned and lubricated before use. What is the best to use other than trying to find Hornady one-shot and their dry lube spray

I use powdered graphite for all my reloading tools that have enclosed moving parts (RCBS powder measure, Lee Auto-Disk measure etc.) You should have some recommendatons from manufacturer with your tools, follow them to start and if you find a better alternative (like I did), then use it.
