I too use the 45-45-10 on my 240 and 265 gr. Ranch Dog bullets. I have used alox for quite some time and it's only as messy/sticky as I am. I've noticed new users of alox use way too much on their bullets getting messy, sticky, smokey bullets. I thin the alox with mineral spirits when I'm not mixing it with anything and "dip lube" ala Ranch Dog. For me a consistency of about heavy cream is thick enough and I like the bullets and lube to be just warm, not hot to the touch. I dip 'e and set 'em on a sheet of alum foil base down. Clean nose, not sticky.
I also pan lube with my concoctions and lube from White Label Lubes. Some of the lubes are too sticky to punch out of the lube cake so I made some "cookie cutters" out of stainless steel tubing reamed/drilled out to a few thousandths over bullet diameter. I also usee Lee push through dies and my lube methods seems to work in all my guns shooting cast lead...
