Re: BU**ER
Another vote for ISW - it was a little more expensive than the other stuff in the shop, but the guy swore by it and said it was highly recommended.
It seems very good - have had a few cases stck on the way back down though - made worse by the fact my press is on a flimsy workmate and i don't actually want to break it by putting too much force on it :(
need a sturdier bench :(

Bench ? what bench? I use a hand press and work on my physique at the same time (I'm in perfect shape.........for a 55lb bag of spuds that is !)TattooedGun wrote:Another vote for ISW - it was a little more expensive than the other stuff in the shop, but the guy swore by it and said it was highly recommended.

I smear the out side of the case with a thin coat of imerial sizing wax I then dip the case neck in fine graphite powder.
(I have access to a hoard of graphite in different grades the glass blower uses it.)
I re size the case then clean the in side of the neck with a case neck brush.
The cases just whistle through the die and no strain on the press. Have used this method longer than I care to remember.
Lyman sell a kit that does the same job only they dont use graphite.
