Several different case conitioners were popular way back when. I had a Hereters, made a home made one out of an old electric soldering iron and remember one or tw others brands. One old one was a Forster-Appelt Therm-Matic case mouth conditioner. Last year there was one seller on Ebay that was making them and selling them on Ebay. He offered several different gauges.
I use to keep a pot of wax melting and would dip the hull end in it and remelt the new wax on the old Winchesters. It improved them a lot. Your observation about lack of wax in the Winchester is true from all those I have loaded. Still it was hard to get more than 3-4 loads per hull. But there were good looking loads and that was all we had to use back then.
