lyman super moly
« on: November 22, 2008, 01:25:17 PM »
  Tell me about this stuff, I got a 450 sizer and a stick of this lube with it. I've never used it before. I load for rifle and hand gun .Velocity from the low hundreds to 2300 fps, in many calibers! 6" to 24" barrels.

It's moly. I hate moly. Tried it decided it was BAD not good so will never use it again. I personally use more RCBS green than anything but will be switching to Veral's soft blue when I run out of what's in the luber.

I'll second that recommendation for the LBT Blue Soft!  Great Stuff.

With jacketed bullets they say don't mix moly without cleaning, so I've never tried it. I haven't heard anything said about mixing moly and non-moly lubed cast bullets. I use some moly lube and can't see there's much difference.

I've used it before and wasn't impressed nor disappointed....I've used a lot of different lubes, but settled on White Label Lube's Carnauba Red...

That's been my experience too, while you are using it it's viscosity is pretty low so it finds every little leak in your operation and the bullets are messy to handle. However after they age, the bullets lubed with the stuff kind of dry out and become less messy.

Sorry for bringing this up again but I've used this, it is messy and I wouldn't consider using it again but for one exception, it did eliminate the leading problem I had in one pistol.
