Hornady Unique, as good as anything out there and a lot cheaper than Imperial and will tackle any sizing/reforming tasks.

The Lee stuff is pulling wire wax so if you can get that it is a cheaper substitute, but has its limitations in sizing.

For normal case resizing a lanolin and isopropyl alcohol mix is fine and cheap.

Following a recommendation on another forum I use Angelus mink oil.I bought a tub of it off ebay and a little goes a long way and it just wipes off resized cases with a clean rag.

It also works a treat on leather slings and your best Saturday night dancing shoes as well.

1 part liquid lanolin to 10 parts 99.9% isopropyl alcohol.
Shake well before application, and allow alcohol to evaporate before sizing.
