Spit, Blood, Snot, anything I have on hand really.

Any Motor Oil will do for me. Right now it's SAE 30 straight.

I actually just use a little gun oil, along with some this "Ultra Slick" Extreme Sport Synthetic Grease from Canadian Tire that I also use to lube certain parts of my guns. Seems to work well enough.

I don't think it's necessary to go out and buy some sort of specialty product made for lubing reloading presses.

I use a light coat of grease. What ever is handy.

White lithium grease. I bought a tub from Canadian Tire probably 18 years ago and it's still going strong. Works great on my M14 too.

X2 on the 30 w oil, but mines synthetic. I use a peavymart syringe to inject it in tight places.

[hk33ka1]

Motor oil (Amsoil on a rag) or G96 spray, whichever I'm in the mood for.

Powdered graphite. It doesn't attract primer residue like oils or grease will.

Wheel Bearing Grease

Military surplus Leopard Tank grease, use it on everything... don't leave home without it !

 

[blacksmithden]

Whatever oil I have laying around. You don't need some kind of high priced, high pressure lube. By general standards, anything in a reloading press is VERY low pressure

Clp works ok but I use whatever is closest to my hand at the time. I could be gun oil or motor oil this week.

 

[Skyhawk]

It's likely even this will work. Although I'm not sure if I'd use it myself...

Yup that works

 

[Skyhawk]

Meh, I only use that product for bullet lube.
