Re: lubing cast bullets

People's mix is what shoots best or due to temps.

More beeswax makes for stiffer lube for warmer temps or perhaps higher speeds - more oil = softer lube.

I used 60:40 to good effect in my .458's as well as a black powder lube for my ctg. gun. The softer lube would be needed, I think, for softening black powder fouling. .50 2 1/10th - 10 shots, no wiping and ALL fouling pushed out with one dry patch - that's a lube that is working in that gun, with that load.

Yes I know, Vaseline is a petroleum product - but in concert with the beeswax - works to keep fouling soft.

I tried Olive Oil instead of the Vaseline and did not like it one bit, in comparison.
