Anyone have a recomendation for a good dry lube for kneck sizing with RCBS kneck sizing dies. The home brew for case lube has worked great and I was looking to see if there is something out there you don't have to clean off after running the case through the die. I like to size the knecks on new brass too, as there always seems to be some out of round condition, and would like to skip cleaning the lube off the cases and worrying about powder contamination.

And imperial application media...
 
Thanks everyone. Reading the reviews in Midway it looks like the Lyman Motor Mica works pretty good.

CatShooter do you use the graphite like you use for car door lock cylinders? Do you wipe it off after resizing with a towel or Qtip on the inside of the neck?

I use the dry graphite. it is a bit dirty, but it works well. I have a little container of it with some #9 shot in with it so the neck doesn't get too much.

I just dip the neck in, wipe off the outside, and put the cases in a tray, then size it, and wipe off the outside, leaving whatever is on the inside of the neck.

Dry graphite is getting hard to find, and when this is gone, I may change to something else.
 
I found some of the Reding Imperial dry lube this afternoon with out the media and I was wondering about putting some shot with it. Thanks for the idea, I will give it a try.
