New Lube for sizing cases. Only costs about $15/liter

For years I have been using the Lee Lube. I used to buy it in the USA for about $1.50 a tube. Now it is $6.00

The way I lube is I put about 400 9mm cases in a round container with a lid. I put in a 3/4" worm of Lee lube in the container and smear it around the inside wall, then swirl the cases for about 30 seconds. This lubes them all.

Today I bought a liter of cable pulling lubricant for about $15.00 at Acklands-Grainger. The first test went well.

The lube is a semi-clear gel that handles and lubricates well. You can see a big glob of it in the mouth of the container.

That is more than I usually used with Lee. Next time I will use about half as much.

I have 400 in the tumbler now to clean off the lube. I left a few out to air dry. They are barley lubed. If you were running a Dillon, you could use this lubed brass and skip cleaning off the lube.

Ganderite - does this wire lubricant dry as the Lee lube does ? I prefer to use the Lee once it dries, which it does quickly since I dilute the Lee with 99% alcohol. I shake them in a large freezer bag.

I left a few out of the post-sizing tumbling, to see how it dried. They were no sticky. If you size in a a Dillon, you could skip the lube removal step after the cases are loaded.
