How do I apply the Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax for standard rifle case sizing?

Simply rub a clean fingertip lightly across the green wax surface to pick up a minimal film, then wipe it over the body of the cartridge case and lightly inside the case neck. Because an extremely thin layer provides all the necessary lubricity, a single 1 oz metal tin will easily lubricate thousands of rifle cases without contaminating your gunpowder or primers.

Is this wax suitable for high-force operations like forming wildcat brass or resizing military cases?

Yes, the Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax (Model 21022) is specifically favoured by precision reloaders for high-force operations such as forming wildcat cases, resizing thick military brass, and using small-base sizing dies. It delivers high lubricity to prevent stuck cases without creating hydraulic oil dents on the cartridge shoulders. However, because it requires manual fingertip application, it is best suited for low-to-medium volume batch processing rather than high-speed progressive setups exceeding hundreds of cases per hour.

Are there any specific Australian electrical compliance or safety regulations required for this product?

No, the Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax is a non-electrical chemical and wax reloading consumable, so it does not require 240V mains power, an Australian plug, or SAA/RCM regulatory electrical certifications. It is safe to use in your reloading bench environment across Australia, though it should be stored closed at normal room temperature to protect its formulation.

What related Redding products pair well with this sizing die wax for precision rifle reloading?

When setting up your reloading bench for precision rifle cartridges, this wax pairs exceptionally well with quality die sets like the Redding 80155 308 Winchester Full Length Reloading Die Set or the Redding 84384 Deluxe Reloading Die Set for magnum calibres. For advanced neck sizing precision, you can also combine it with heat-treated steel components such as the Redding 73244 Precise Neck Sizing Bushing to ensure optimal concentricity.

Sizing Die Wax - Redding 21022

The Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax (Model 21022) is a non-liquid, paste-form case sizing lubricant engineered for metallic cartridge reloading. Based on the original LeClear green wax recipe with a slightly lower melting point, it applies by fingertip directly to the case body and lightly inside the case neck. It provides high film strength and lubricity during high-force reloading steps—such as full-length resizing, heavy neck expanding, and case forming—without creating hydraulic dents on cartridge shoulders, contaminating primers or powders, or requiring complex chemical removal.

Key Features

High-Lubricity Green Wax Formulation: Non-liquid paste mirrors the classic LeClear recipe, providing high film strength to prevent stuck cases in standard steel, carbide, and case forming dies.
Shoulder Dent Prevention: Non-hydraulic paste consistency eliminates liquid pooling, preventing hydraulic indentations on case shoulders during full-length resizing.
Non-Contaminating Formula: Will not degrade or contaminate gunpowder or primers when applied correctly during the reloading process.
Manual Wipe-Off Cleanup: Wipes clean directly from brass cases using a paper towel or dry cloth without requiring liquid solvent baths or ultrasonic degreasing.
Universal Metallic Calibre Compatibility: Safe for use across all metallic cartridge calibres, including handgun, standard rifle, magnum, and wildcat cases.

Who is the Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax for?

Precision rifle reloaders processing high-force wildcat or military brass — Requires high film-strength lubrication applied directly from a 1 oz metal tin to eliminate stuck cases during severe neck expansion, wildcat case forming, or small-base resizing of thick-walled brass.
Handloaders performing low-to-medium volume rifle case forming and sizing — Delivers manual fingertip coverage from a 1 oz metal tin that prevents hydraulic shoulder dents and wipes away clean with a dry cloth without case-tumbler intervention.

Less suitable for: Progressive high-volume batch processing exceeding hundreds of cases per hour, where manual fingertip wax application is inefficient compared to liquid lanolin or aerosol spray lubricants applied across bulk batches.
