Hi All,
Has anyone used Lyman Moly-Lube with their cast bullets? If so, do you get that moly build-up that you do with moly coated bullets?
Thanks for any info.

I'm new to sizing bullets, the first ones I sized and shot werre lubed with Lyman Super Moly, they were in fact, messy but I attribute a large part of that to my learning how to adjust the equipment. I shot close to a thousand rounds of 45 acp with zero leading. I'm now using some other lube I received in a trade and have to break out the Lewis Lead Remover after 200-250 rounds. I'll may finish what I have, but when I run out , it will be Lyman Super Moly from now on. I'm pleased enough with it, that I'm not even going to experiment, and I really like experimenting.

For my plinkers, I use Lee Alox, but for my hunting loads (> 1500 f/s, 45 Colt, 255 grain RNFP) I use Lyman Moly, hand applied. I have yet to detect any leading, even after 50 rounds. Maybe the Lee Alox would work too, one day I'll get around to test it, but if I loaded a box of "hunters" today, I'd use the LymanMoly because it works for me. I tried it with some 357 loads, but wasn't satisfied, maybe the pistol, the bevel base, no cardboard wad under the bullet and who know what else, but I did get leading

cant really blame the lube for that. Its tough at mag velocitys to get any bevel base bullet to perform without leading.

I have used it on water-quenched wheel weight bullets in my 458 at 45-70 velocities. Zero leading after a 69 round range session...

Thanks guys,

I'm giving it a try. I got my lube-sizer loaded and ready. All I need now is to get off my duff and cast a few bullets. I had a stick, but wanted to check before loading up the sizer and squeezing out the last bit of the old lube. I may try dusting them with Motor-Mica to cut down on some of the mess.
Thanks again for the info..
Best,
