The Redding 07400 Imperial Screw Thread Wax is a dedicated metal-to-metal thread lubricant engineered to prevent galling, mechanical binding, and corrosion across reloading components. Packaged in a compact 2 oz container (approx. 56.7 g), this semi-solid "stay-put" formulation adheres directly to fine and coarse threads without running, migrating, or drying out like liquid oils. It provides a durable barrier against moisture and wear on standard reloading die interfaces, including 7/8"-14 and 1-1/4"-12 threads, die lock rings, bullet seating micrometer assemblies, decapping rod threads, and precision gunsmithing fixtures.

Key Features

• Anti-Galling and Anti-Fretting Protection: Creates a high-tack lubricating film that reduces mechanical friction and stops metal galling between steel, brass, and aluminium threads under torque.
• Stay-Put Wax Formulation: Unlike thin greases or runny oils, the proprietary solid/semi-solid wax clings to threaded surfaces, resisting displacement during repetitive die adjustments.
• Long-Term Corrosion Defense: Seals exposed metal-to-metal contact areas against atmospheric humidity, benchtop moisture, and abrasive workshop debris.
• Universal Reloading Compatibility: Formulated for use across all standard press threads, reloading die lock rings, bullet seating stems, and general workshop tooling interfaces.
• High-Efficiency Coverage: The concentrated 2 oz wax volume provides enough lubricant to service hundreds of individual reloading dies and press fittings.

Who is the Redding Imperial Screw Thread Wax 2 Oz for?

• Precision rifle reloaders performing frequent die adjustments — benefits from the anti-seize formulation delivered in this 2 oz reloading die thread wax tin, ensuring smooth, repeatable adjustments on 7/8"-14 micrometer seating stems and lock rings without thread galling.
• Reloading bench operators working with steel or aluminium die threads — utilizes the high-tack 0.25 lb shipping weight container of reloading die thread wax to seal out moisture and prevent mechanical binding between mismatched press and die metals over extended storage periods.

Less suitable for: Full-length cartridge case resizing and case neck expansion; high-pressure brass forming requires a dedicated liquid or high-pressure case sizing lubricant rather than a mechanical thread wax.
