Default Case forming lube?

Does anyone have a special or favorite lube they use when forming brass from one caliber to another?

Agreed about Imperial. Comes off easily too -- a little bit of mineral spirits on a cleaning patch does the trick, and I usually go over them once more with a patch moistened with rubbing alcohol.

I make my own, same stuff I use for making bullets, equal parts lanolin and bee's wax. stays fairly solid at room temp and you can just wipe your finger over it like imperial and that is enough. Melts at body temp +/- so once a die is warmed up it runs butter smooth.
