I agree - a little dab of candle wax is "old school" ...and I'm not saying I didn't do it once in a while 40 yrs ago ....but not these days !!
I loaded 30 boxes of 12 ga shells last nite ( and I don't even box em up ) --I put them into quart sized zip lock bags ( 30 per bag - to give me a few extra) ...and then put 10 of the bags into a big rubbermaid plastic bin for storage and transport to the range ......( and I'm not about to start putting drops on candle wax on 900 shells.....when the hulls won't crimp / dump em !
If they come off the press ...and leak / mark them with a pen on the base ...and shoot them for practice ...and dump them.
( I've even used a couple of strips of scotch tape - to hold a crimp together / when I had to ...but never as a routine).
