A method is provided for lubricating a die cavity that includes applying a lubricant composition containing a high melting point polymeric wax lubricant to the wall of a die cavity. Preferably, the lubricant is a polyamide lubricant that has a melting temperature greater than the temperature of the die wall during use. The present invention also provides a method of making a compacted metal part that includes applying the lubricant composition to an internal wall of a die cavity, introducing a metal-based powder composition into the die cavity; and compacting the powder composition at a pressure sufficient to form a compacted part from the metal powder composition.
