Spray Lube Home Brew - 11/17/15 02:18 PM
I have been prepping lots of .223 brass recently and I ran out of the bottle of home made lube that I made the day after Christmas 2013. I poured in 1oz of Liquid lanolin in a spray bottle then grabbed the bottle of 100% Isopropyl alcohol poured up 12ozand got back to sizing probably quicker than it took me to type this.
I looked thru our reloading tips but did not see where the recipe had been posted but I may have missed it.
Anyway I thought I would share as some may be interested or may think its some complicated formula.
Buy as close as you can to 100% Alcohol or you can also use HEET as its about 99% IA which is what I did the first batch.
Then get a bottle of Liquid lanolin...... both can be bought easily online or I got my lanolin at City Market.
Get a spray bottle pour in 1oz of lanolin add 12oz of alcohol and shake and spray away. I spray in a large flat tupperware container about 150-200 pieces at a time pop the lid on shake for a few seconds let it sit for 15 minutes and its as good or better than One Shot which I still use for small batches in loading blocks so I can direct some into the necks if desired.
That bottle should do about what 10-12 cans of One Shot does for the price of 1 can.
