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

10:1 Ratio - use 99% alcohol to Lanolin. Spray bottle. Andrew Duty is the sublimest word in the English Language - Gen Robert E Lee. | |||

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 "In order to understand recursion, you must first learn the principle of recursion." | |||

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. 10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

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.

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 "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.
