Good video. A suggestion if I may. Take your wood block and drill the holes all the way through it. That way you can place it in your pan and drop the bullets in base down then remove the block, then when the lube has cooled and hardened place the block over the bullets and flip it over and use your dowel to push them out

I made the lube to a T, except I also added in 1 TBL spoon of johnson paste wax (carnuba wax). Beautiful. Sticks to the bullet, isnt tacky, hard lube. The best part? I put a hair dryer on for 1 hour about 1" away from blower on high heat. It doesn't melt or drip, it gets slightly tacky, but no way this would melt in a 110 degree weather sitting on a table or inside the cab of your truck. BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for posting!!!

well it's been 8 months or so and I can say that cleaning the bbl was much easier with this lube than the other store bought brands I've tried, and although since I'm not loading cartridges I do have to handle the bullets more and the lube does get soft in the summer, and difficult to handle. After sighting em in (Thompson maxi-hunter .50cal mold) they've continued to hit the target and not lead the bbl. Thanks again!

Very informative video. You've helped my process a lot. Thanks. One place where I improvised was, beeswax was a little pricey around here, whereas beeswax toilet rings are less than $2 each, so I sub'd 2 rings for 1 lb of beeswax. I know they have a little mineral oil in them, but it didn't seem to affect the mixture at all. All I know is, my bullets came out great, thanks to you. Keep up the good work!

Right on! I'm just getting my feet wet in molding and have been looking for a way to get a hard wax around some 44MAG boolits. Lee Liquid Alox just doesn't look up to the job, but a home-brew moly and graphite mix I stumbled across looked like it would work. My only problem was getting the lube from the pot to on the bullet, in an economical way.

Use the lube over and over, very little is being used in the lube grooves. You should use the flexible pans to easily remove the block. Use the tea strainer so as to remove little bits of crud that may get into the lube. I shoot once a month and one batch lasts me well over a year. Thanks for your comments.
@Patstuf15 жыл бұрын
Simply put lube keeps cast off lead from acumulating in the barrel, so no lube means leading. The acumulation of lead will effect bullet accuracy. Lube is a soft wax like material that sits in the grooves of the cast lead bullet. You can purchase sized and lubed bullets, or purchase cast bullets and do this yourself.

Adding STP oil treatment: I Did some research on STP O T and found there is 60% mineral oil, and 10% zinc in it. Mineral oil is fine, but the zinc isn't at all good. That's one of the common dross materials casters want to scoop off. Why do you want that in the bullet lube? Maybe there's some reason, but it eludes me. All the pan lube vids have been super helpful regardless and I appreciate the onging efforts to help each other out and same money..... SD.

Don't know, it might, but most people resize pistol bullets and or use gas checks. Now if you stay slow and have the correct size bullets you dont have to resize, but now you creat a problem if the cartridges are for use in an automatic, if they are too slow it won't eject.
@samsterii13 жыл бұрын
Really well done video. Thanks. Question: STP gas treatment, what does it do for the lube? I'm loading for 10mm cast bullets, about 1200fps. And should I size, lube, or lube and then size? Thanks!
@Patstuf15 жыл бұрын
I would guess you may have a bullet block that has the holes very close together, try a block with more space between bullets. The grooves should all fill, but I do get a few in every batch without a small amount, I think this happens because of an air pocket. Use the hot formula right away, and let the wax harden 24 hours before you carefully push the bullet sraight out. The wax in the groove is fragile so handle carefully. Lube should not build up in barrel but lead will, so use it!

I don't think I would. I would just use straight bee's wax or straight parrafin. Use a "pea" size piece for 10 lbs of hot lead and stir it in well, then skim off the dross. This will smoke and may flame up, so be ready and always be very carefull!

Hello again pat, I don't know if I did something wrong but I think my lube its a bit soft. I mean, I can remove the block of lube & bullets in one piece, but its kinda sticky for what I wanted, there's a way to make the formula a bit harder? However, it works great on my pistol rounds. It's mainly to make less mess on my kitchen ;) Thanks. jay

It's a crimp groove, but it is ok to fill it. If you are shooting it in a revolver, you should crimp, though this may reduce accuracy if your bullet is very soft.
