Make Your Own Lanolin-Based Case Lube
In the YouTube video embedded below, our friend Gavin Gear of UltimateReloader.com shows how to make your own case lube using simple, inexpensive ingredients. As recommended by the 6.5 Guys, this Liquid Lanolin + Isopropyl Alcohol mix works well and is very cost-effective. You can make a pint of this home-brew Lanolin case lube for a fraction of the price of commercial aerosol spray lubes.

Gavin tells us: “Per the 65guys instructions, I ordered the same components and spray bottles, and these worked out great”:
1. Swan Isopropyl Alcohol, 99%, Pint, 16 Ounce (2-pack)
2. Home Health Liquid Lanolin, 4 Ounce
3. Chemical Guys ACC_121.16HD-3PK Chem. Resistant Heavy Duty Bottle/Sprayer (16 oz.)
Gavin describes the exact mixing process on his Ultimate Reloader website. Gavin says this lube mix is a good complement to the Hornady One-Shot (pistol) and Dillon DCL (rifle) lubes he has used for pistol and rifle reloading sessions. CLICK HERE to read more.

One of the forum responses at the 6.5 Guys article stated that they used high grade synthetic transmission fluid and alcohol for their spray lube choice..
Does anyone else here use such a combination for their case lube?
I made up the same mix using Lanolin and 99% Isopropyl in a 1 to 10 ratio. This works great and is now my favorite case lube.
I’ve used this mix for a long time, works great, you cna also use 1 oz of lanolin with the 12 oz bottle of Iso Heet.
I figured step one would be to get a sheep.
