The Redding Imperial Application Media with Dry Neck Lube (Model 07900) is a dedicated reloading bench accessory designed to lubricate both the inside and outside of cartridge case necks in a single step. Comprising high-density spherical ceramic bead media pre-charged with a proprietary dry graphite-blend lubricant, it coats case necks when dipped directly into the container. This formulation reduces friction against sizing dies, neck bushings, and expander mandrels without inducing over-lubrication or brass work-hardening. Because it is a completely dry lubricant, it will not contaminate, degrade, or clump gunpowder during subsequent powder charging stages.

Key Features

• Simultaneous Inside and Outside Neck Lubrication: Coats the interior and exterior of the case neck simultaneously with dry neck lube via a direct dip into the ceramic media.
• Powder-Safe Dry Formula: Utilises a dry graphite blend that does not react with, clump, or contaminate smokeless powders.
• Reusable Bead Media: High-density ceramic spheres do not degrade under regular bench use and can be recharged periodically with dry neck lube.
• Calibre Range: Accommodates all bottle-neck rifle cartridge cases down to .17 calibre.
• Mechanical Simplicity: Completely passive reloading accessory requiring no electrical power or 240V mains connection.

Who is the Redding Imperial Application Media with Dry Neck Lube for?

• Australian precision target shooters handloading rifle ammunition — eliminates neck friction during mandrel expansion and bushing sizing on bottle-neck brass, with 1.0 oz of reusable ceramic media that runs for 400 to 500 cases between lubricant recharges without contaminating powder charges.
• Hunters reloading bottle-neck rifle cartridge cases — provides rapid, simultaneous interior and exterior neck lubrication for cases down to .17 calibre using dry neck lube application media that prevents over-lubrication and neck burnishing.

Less suitable for: Primary case body lubrication during full-length resizing, which requires heavy-duty resizing die wax or spray case lubricants to prevent cases sticking in the die body.
