It looks good, but it probably costs more than just buying lube. Right?
The 4 oz. bottle of Alox comes with each of the sizing dies,still have three extra bottles of that I haven't even touched.
My only other cost is a $5 can of Johnson Paste Wax or $2.50 per 8 oz. batch of lube,that will make two batches of lube. I split the can of JPW into two 8 oz. portions and cook each portion down to 4 fl. oz. then I mix the 4 fl. oz. of JPW with the 4 oz. bottle of Alox for a 50/50 mix in another bottle as pictured.
Many people over do the TL process and use to much lube,just a light golden sheen is all you need. As I mentioned I use 10 to 15 drops per 100 bullets let dry and size and or lube once more if I'm shooting them as cast. I probably average 4K to 5K bullets per 8 fl. oz. bottle of lube depending on bullet size and caliber there are around 590 drops per 1 US fluid oz.
My pan lube is a bit more expensive but none goes to waste. It basically consist of two 12" solid stick of Blue Angle hard lube I picked up for $1.50 each at a gun shop on clearance I got six sticks. I melt those on low heat in an old thick aluminum coffee pot somebody gave me,to that I add one half lb. of cheap Vaseline $2 and 4 fl. oz. of JPW $2.50. I make sure it's all melted and blended in together.
I load all my GC bullets nose down in two old 50 rd. plastic ammo sleeve glued together,place my silicone baking pan on top flip them over onto my table top which is nice and level. At that point i can position the sleeves where I want them in the pan remove them and pour the lube to the desired level,once the lube cools for about 30 to 45 min. while it's still semi soft but can be remove from the pan without breaking and placed on my cutting board. I use my homemade cutter to cut out the bullet it's help that the lube is still semi soft as they cut out very easy. I let them dry overnight and run them back through the sizer die the next day to clean them up.
Not sure how many bullets I can lube with this present batch,probably a couple thousand at the going rate and I have more cast and lubed up ready to go than I will probably shoot over the next six month and with cold weather coming along I'll have plenty of time to do more.
