I got my liquid lanolin at a health food store. I don't remember where I got the recipe, but like @Shriner, I mix 4:1.
Sixteen ounces of 91% alcohol and four ounces of the liquid lanolin in a spray bottle.

I used one shot for years, as did my dad, neither of us had any issues.

For savings i started buying wd-40 dry lube. Works just as well as one shot.

You spray it on, let it dry and start sizing.

Now, i get lc 308 brass that has been through a machine gun, i deprime, wet tumble and dry. Wet tumbling removes ALL previous oils from those cases and take a good amount of force to resize using one shot/wd40 dl. So i mix iso red/lanolin 12:1 to size those cases back to 308 then dry tumble and anneal.

OR

After drying i run them through the dry tumbler that has case polish in it then spray lube with one shot/wd40 dl and they are a lot smoother.

I anneal, Then they get sized down to 7/08, 260, or 243 whatever i need at the time.
