i got tired of buying hornady oneshot for what they are asking for it so then i switched to imperial wax. the imperial wax is a great product as well and very cheap, but i missed the speed of application of the oneshot so i started looking into alternatives. i read alot of threds and came across the liquid lanolin/99% isopropyl mix. i checked ebay and found 12oz pure liquid lanonin for $8 delivered and i picked up some 99% isopropyl. you can get the alch. at paint stores,drug stores etc.
recipe calls for 1part lanolin/5 parts alchohol.im slowly thining this as it is a very very rich concentration. you could prob cut it to 1/8 at least,i will update and let you know later where i end up at on mix.
heat a pot of water to 100-110 deg on stove. preferably a flat top "no open flame, alchohol remember"
put 1/8th of a jar lanolin in a mason jar , then fill the rest with alchohol put a lid on jar and place in the hot water for a min or two till it heats up. shake and your done. the lanolin combines with the iso real easy and does not try to seperate back out. pour your mix in a clear spray bottle that will make a fine mist and your ready to roll.
this mix goes A LONG WAY. so on your first run dont hose em down like you would with one shot just lay em out on cookie sheet and lightly fan them , roll case 180 deg and lightly fan them again. i will do around 250 pcs and let em flash dry out side then pour them in a box and size while another set flashes. some of you are already runnin this im sure, but if you havent tried it yet, i highly recommend it. its not just the cost savings but it is the smoothest fl sizing ive seen yet and id say one mason jar would last this crowd a very very long time.it really suprised me how far it went.
