Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax is the original non-liquid case lube, and it remains a fixture on the bench of anyone who full-length resizes brass. This 2 oz tin (MPN 07600) handles the friction problem at the heart of case sizing, letting brass flow through the die and over the expander button without galling, stuck cases, or dented shoulders. It works for both rifle and handgun reloading, and a single tin will size several thousand cases. If you load on a single-stage or turret press and want consistent, repeatable sizing, this is the lube most experienced reloaders reach for first.
The wax goes on with a fingertip, applied to the case body and inside the neck where the expander button does its work. Because it is a wax rather than a liquid or aerosol, there is no risk of powder contamination from over-spray or runoff, and cleanup wipes away with a dry patch. Per Redding, the formulation carries high lubricity that reduces drag on both the die and the size button, which matters most during case forming, where the chance of crushed or dented shoulders runs highest. The 2 oz tin (UPC 611760076008) stores indefinitely and pairs well with a case lube pad and loading tray for batch work, or a stuck case remover if a dry case ever finds its way into the die.
Reach for Imperial Sizing Die Wax any time you run a sizing die, from routine full-length resizing of fired 223 and 308 brass to forming wildcat cases out of parent brass. Apply a light film, size, then wipe the case clean before charging. The wax earns its keep on tight-shouldered cartridges and case-forming jobs where liquid lubes struggle.

One 2 oz tin will full-length resize several thousand cases. Because it is applied as a thin film with a fingertip, a little goes a long way, and the tin stores indefinitely without drying out or separating like some liquid lubes.
No. It is a wax rather than a liquid or aerosol, so there is no over-spray or runoff to drift into a powder charge. Apply it to the case body and inside the neck, size the case, then wipe it clean with a dry patch before charging.
Yes. Its high lubricity reduces drag on the die and size button, which lowers the chance of dented or crushed shoulders during forming. This makes it a common choice when forming wildcat or improved cases from parent brass.
Wipe a small amount across your fingertip and apply a light, even film to the case body. For bottleneck cases, also coat the inside of the neck so the expander button passes through smoothly. Size the case, then remove the residue with a dry patch or cloth.
