G'Day Fella's,



They are achieving some impressive velocities (2000 + fps), without any sign of leading!!!
I will locate this again and attempt to post it here!

2000fps is hardly above an amble for any of the suitable lubes and even a 60/40 bees wax/vaseline lube on my 350gn 404 bullets will easily see off 2365fps and over 2400fps from my 160gn 7x57. The fit of the bullet is of far more importance to the non-leading issue than the lube as no lube will make up for poor bullet fit while good bullet fit will trump a poor lube.

These hard lubes are more for the sake of the comercial caster so that the bullets will arrive at the customers doorstep without the lube being disturbed or transfered from the lube grooves to the nose af those bullets that rub against each other in transit. They will stay suitably intact in any heat or cold delivery conditions but are rarely the best solution to any lube needs.

The pan lube is simply done by a number of methods without a lubrisizer and even getting the lube liquid in the above mentioned water bath and then dip lubing them and setting them on a piece of board or an old oven try (or any convenient surface for that matter) and the lube will push out from under the base and they set like that. A fired cartridge case with the base cut off makes a suitable "cake cutter" to clean the excess lube of the sides of the bullet and you are set to go
