I normally use Imperial Sizing Wax - works wonderful and a 1oz tin has lasted me for many years.
I made a fatal mistake before Christmas - I cleaned up my reloading bench (hint- never do this). Now I can't find my tin of sizing wax.
I was about to go looking for some Crisco when I spotted a tube of lip balm, unflavored Burt's Bees.
I'm only neck sizing so I thought I'd give it a try. I worked well and was not hard to clean off the cases when I was finished.
Pound for pound the lip balm is a heck of a lot cheaper.

Anyone else tried Burt's Bees?

Interesting. Makes me wonder if Renaissance Wax might be used for this too.
