Mink Oil case lube

[RRH.01]

Anyone else here use it? Been using it a while now, I find it works as good if not better than commercial waxes, pastes or sprays I’ve tried. Best part is it costs 1/2 to a 1/4 of what anything similar does. Thought I’d pass it along if anyone hasn’t heard of or used it before and finds themselves out of lube.

This is what I use, can be found at surplus herpees if you have one, 3.49 for 3 ounces.

Just FYI you can get mink oil in a spray can as well, I haven't used it for reloading but did use it when grooming my Labrador Retriever.

Never heard of mink oil for lube before, but I have seen people use lanolin and it supposedly works fine as well.

Hornady sells little tubs of lube that say on it also good for preserving leather items. I tried my tin of mink oil and it does work. Looks the same as Hornady stuff. Works very well for heavy case forming.

I can't see why mink oil wouldn't be just as good as lanolin.
It's just sebum from another critter.
Run your fingers across your forehead into your hair, and you'll pick up some of your own "greasiness".
Diligently collect your ear wax, refine it, and you'll end up with a product just as good...

I've been using mink oil paste for the last couple years, wonderful stuff.

A small spritz of FluidFilm in a freezer bag and a good shake. Fluid film says good for boots right on the can.
