  • what was the other stuff you mixed with the bees wax for the bullet lube i'm not hearing it clearly on your vid

  • @xle5363 Mutton Tallow. Dixie Gun Works has some in stock now.

  • for someone with limited resources would it be easier to pan lube?

  • @TheCoreyCaffeine Well, it would be less expensive. As long as your mold throws bullets that are within 1/1000th of an inch of the required size, you can pan lube with no problem. If your mold throws oversized slugs, you could have problems seating and chambering bullets. Most modern molds are very close to their advertised bullet diameter, so you should be OK.

  • "@MrGr1874 Hi Mr. G. I guess I missed this when you wrote it. Google "Mannlake". It is a beekeeper's & candle makers' supply house. I order my wax from them.

  • @MrGr1874 generally no. not for black powder as black powder lube needs to be non petroleum based. smokeless lube recipes sometimes use paraffin wax.
