RE: Best brass for Shiloh
Of Dies and case lube. I have been reloading for many years and have learned a few things over the years about dies and case lubes. Most of what I have learned has been the hard way. First off, different case lubes do not, let me repeat that, Do NOT play well together. I have learned the hard way, if you change case lubes, clean your dies out very well, Alcohol is good or lacquer thinner. Usually a little lube will go a long way, if thing feel overly tight or sticky, something is wrong, take a step back, look things over and see if you missed something. When ever I get a set of dies out that have not been used in who knows how long, if I am not sure what was the last lube used in them I clean them and start from scratch.
My preference for case lubes these days and has been for a long time is the lube sold by Dillon and Frankfort Arsenal. It is Lanolin suspended in Alcohol and you just spray your cases and roll them around a little in a box and the alcohol will disappear leaving a film on the case. I also shoot some into the sizing die and let it dry. Yes occasionally I will get a dented case or shoulder but that can happen with most any lube.
A side benefit is the lanolin is good for your skin and its an all natural product.
Hope this helps a little.
