I think I have tried it all. I save the sizing wax and graphite for fussy and tricky low-volume or special-purpose jobs.
You hear a lot of belly aching about finger-rolling cartridges on a lube pad. Once I discovered there is a difference between lube pads, I quit belly aching. Hornady and RCBS pads are awful.
Lyman Case Lube Pad Item No. 7631302 is tops.
Load that pad with RCBS Case Lube-2 and that is as good as it gets.
Water soluble lube. Easy cleanup by washing or tumbling.
The simple Lyman pad and RCBS Case Lube-2 works for bullet sizing too, cup & core, copper and brass or copper monometals.
Thank you Sir Ron, I will look into the RCBS case lube in conjunction with the Lyman pad. Do you lube the inside of the mouth at all?
Are you guys thinking that the only reason I got stuck was inferior lube? I hope that's the case. Can't think what else it could be, but I also figured the lee lube would work well. Guess not.
