Any suggestions for a good DIY case lube? Does lanolin work?

The lanolin lube is the one I typically see/hear about most often. I am still more than happy with the One Shot water-based spray lube, so I haven't experimented much.
Some options I've seen/heard about before:
- Synthetic motor oil - Pam cooking spray - Hornady liquid case lube (P#050009) and 99% isopropyl alcohol

I was going to post something regarding this soon…
Is the lanolin mix simply with 100% pure lanolin oil?
Figuring I should buy some to have on hand.

I mix 1 Tbs (15ml) lanolin in one 12oz bottle of HEET. Shake it up good and put it into a little pump spray bottle.
Works great.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Gustofer,

You can get pure lanolin at the pharmacy. Ask the clerk or pharmacist for the lanolin women use for their nipples when nursing, and use as high a percentage of alcohol as you can find.
BTW the lanolin works great for winter chapped hands

I have been coming across bees wax recipes. Cannot find them now.
I actually wanted to try bees wax for cases as well for lubing the sizing and neck expanding dies.

Years ago I tried the lanolin mixture recipe but have gone back to Hornady One Shot
