Hello guys.......
My dad has a 455 Webley #5.
He bought some Fieochi (spell?) ammo and it had the corect 265 gr HB round nose spire point looking boolit loaded in it.
RCBS makes a mold for this GREAT!!
But I want to use the lube that came on the ammo. Its a hard dry black lube.
Its not Allox but it would be a tumble type lube. Like a thick paint looking stuff. a finger nail wont touch it at all.
I heard once here I think, of a epoxy based lube that may be the one I am looking for.
Any Ideas? Thanks............Buck

I have no idea, but try adding some lamp black to Johnson's Paste Wax! Actually, something in the back of my mind suggests that the Brits actually did use a wax lube. It's all you need for the 455.
