Imperial sizing die wax is best described as oily wax. It comes in a little round tin (kind of like a snuff container) and costs about six bucks per tin. A little goes a long way and most people I hear of have been using it for years and still on their first or sometimes second tin of it. Personally, I've been using it for ~10 yrs and am on my third tin of it so maybe I use a lot of it?

At any rate, it's good stuff and I've never stuck a case with it. It's applied with your fingers. Every 4 or 5 cases I get a small dab on my thumb & first two fingers and just roll the case around in my fingers and size. It does need to be removed before loading. I usually use a clean rag but sometimes just pop the cases into the tumbler to remove it and give it a final polishing. Imperial is not used to lube case necks.

I don't use anything else (except anhydrous lanolin for swaging). I highly reccommend it.
