Well, it finally happened - or I guess I should say it happened again. I got a .25-06 case stuck in the die, which is the first stuck case I've had since an ill-fated experiment with One-Shot many years ago. I was able to get the last one out by generous application of a center punch, but that didn't work this time, so I sprung for the RCBS remover kit. Long story short - it worked fine, even though I had to mash the die in a vise and pound on the hex key wrench with a hammer (big hammer) for a while. But that's not really what I wanted to tell you about . . .
Vowing that I'd never make THAT mistake again, and based on the recommendations of folks here who are wiser than I, I also ordered some Imperial Sizing Wax. It works fine and is definitely an improvement over that nasty sticky lanolin-based lube, but I'm wondering exactly how you're supposed to apply it. I've been simply smearing it on each case with my fingers and, although that gets the job done, it's a slow and messy process. There's gotta be a better way (I hope). What do those of you who use the stuff do? Is it possible to put it on a case lube pad and roll the cases across it?
