Possible stupid question on lube
« on: June 08, 2009, 07:59:48 AM »
In my past life I sat hundreds of toilets using bowl wax. Question is, seems like a good lube for my cast bullets. I cast for 30-30 and .357 using Lee liquid stuff now. Seems like I could mix some bowl wax and the liquid and get a very good lube. What say ye?

Toliet rings used to be made for bees wax and it was a good base for a lube but now there made from paraphin wax which isnt the greatest. Wax alone isnt a good lube. What it is a good carrier for the lubricating ingrediants. I made just about every kind of homemade lube there is but to  be honest with the price of beeswax and the trouble making them lars white label lubes are as cheap as what you can put together yourself and work as good as anything.

Ditto on White Label Lube.  I didn't like the straight 5050 (the NRA mix), but the 2500 is super.  No heater required, not very sticky, and does what it is supposed to.

You might also check into Veral's Blue lube.  I've found it to do well from 38 to 30/30.

We've run LBT Blue to over 2600 fps in a 375 H&H. We gave up before it did.
