Probably Brian Enos and certainly EBay. But there are many alternatives that are lower priced, like Imperial Sizing Wax and ther Dry Neck Lube.

I think Cabela's sells it. They also sell their own knock-off for $1 a bottle cheaper.

Make your own. It's lanolin oil diluted in anhydrous isopropyl alcohol.
If you get the Lanolin directly from a health food store, and the Isoprpyl alcohol (>90%) from Walgreens, you can make a ton of it for a few bucks. |

Sizing Wax is the Bomb

except I can lube 2 or 3 hundred or more at a time and not have to stop every 20 or so that you did.

You should be able to substitute castor oil (the drugstore kind) for the lanolin. It is also soluble in alcohol and is also an EP lubricant, but the ratio may be different. I'm going to try it if I ever finish this bottle of Dillon spray.

I shoot a lot ... 8 - 12 boxes a week ( so call it 500 rds a week X 50 wks = 25,000 rds a yr thru my handguns...
and I don't think I've used up a bottle of Dillon spray lube in the last 2 yrs...and 100% of what I reload is case lubed.../ you don't bathe your cases in this stuff...you just spritz a little on them - let them dry .... Is it really worth mixing up some formula - that may or may not work as well ...when you might use a bottle like I do in 2 yrs ....or some guys, a bottle, will last them 10 yrs.... |

I don't lube my handgun brass at all. Only necked cartridges. I do believe it IS worth lubing my own. I never did sit down and do a formal round count. I shoot a couple three gun series in the summer and load all winter.
