source for Midway case lube

Joe Drees
I'm getting all my gear together and the guy who is going to show me how to reload insists that I use Midway case lube. I checked Midway Reloading and found no case lube made by them. Is there another Midway that makes case lube? If so what is the source ? TIA...Joe

    Save yourself a bunch of headaches (and money) by getting either the "Hornady Unique" or "Imperial Sizing Wax" case lubes. They run about $3 for a lifetime supply. (compare that to $5 a can for spray lubes that only last 3-4 loading sessions).
    For rifle, rub a pea sized piece into the plams of your hands, than rub the cases (I do 5 30-06 size cases at a time) between your palms. That's enough to do a couple hundred cases.
    For pistol, place a light smear on your left thumb, index and middle fingers. Normal handling of the case will transfer all the lube you need for the next couple hundred cases.

    While you don't "need" to lube the carbide pistol dies, they will work smoother with a little lube on the case.

    To explain, a little further, just how little lube I'm talking about, wipe the tip of your index finger across the lube (it's a solid BTW) and than spread that amount between your thumb and middle finger by rubbing the 3 together.

    I've been handloading before Carbide Dies came out and never seen the need to lube while using them.But I've only been reloading for 50 yrs. maybe it will help? [:)]
