  Not likely unless it was a personal add selling a small stock.  LBT is the ONLY source for the LBT bullet lubricants,  Commercial,  Blue and Blue soft.  We are manefacturers and only dealer and sell mail order only.

Yes.  It was a local personal ad for reloading eqpt.  Soft LBT blue hollow sticks.  I bought all 26 sticks he had left.  Box has your Idaho label. Looks old.

Now I gotta figure out how to use them without a lubrisizer.  Didn't see how to do that on your site.

Advise would be appreciated.

I just used my fingers, pinch off a small amt. roll to small diameter amd push into lube grooves.  I did that for over a year til I got a luber.  I had a Lee sizer for a few calibers, but I still had to hand apply lube, but it worked as smooth as with the tumble lube that it's supposed to work with, and much better performance than the Lee lube.

Just a smear will usually do it...the stuff simply works.  I even use it for my tumble lubed bullets now (since Veral gave us the secret) and I have pushed them to almost 1500fps in my .357's,  1400fps in 41's and 44's with no leading.  I hate to advocate using less but Soft blue goes a long way.  You'll see what I mean...

As long as it is the REAL STUFF of course.

I melted some in a jar cover and hand dip those I want to shoot "as-cast". I've read some interesting methods. I'm still experimenting here. About as easy as anything, is just dipping them and let them harden and wipe the excess off - it will look like a Morele mushroom. The tip will just pull off, leaving almost nothing behind, which may be enough for light loads. I squeeze the lube into the grooves as I pull the excess off. Leaves a clean bullet to handle. Also use this method for 32 Long Colt which are outside lubed.
