Looking to start a flame-war... Ram lube?

[the86d]

So what do you lube your ram, and it's contact points with?

3 In 1, 30wt SAE, sewing machine oil, gun oil, pretty much anything will do.

Rem-Oil, because it's right at my fingertips and works.
I thought Ram Lube was some kind of adult love product.

I keep a quart on the work bench.
Use it for everything.

I've been using white lithium grease

I dont use anything. But if I did it would be something that was powder/primer friendly.

If you're contaminating powder or primer with lube on the ram, you're doing something wrong...

Leave it bone dry, I heard that works best (in prison).

Penn Muscle Grease, just because I still have some, I tried clear Teflon greases before some work great some not so, Trick to not getting gritty dirt on the greased ram decap on another junky press you don't care about

I have had my single stage presses since the 1960's. I think I have lubed them 2-3 times. 1st I use brake clean spray to remove any crud then I have used tri-flow or something like that on them.
My Dillon 650 has grease fittings and I have used automotive chassis grease I have in my grease gun for my cars and such.

any lubricant that is powder primer friendly is not a lubricant. and like the other chap said if your lube on the ram is contaminating powder and primer you are most certainly doing something wrong.

You both missed my point, but ok.
