300 blackout lube

[grrifles]

What lube are y'all using on the blackout. I have a 245 cast running at 1040fps. Any help would be great


Thanks

I have been using 45/45/10 on subsonic loads with both the 311247, and the lee tl309-230 aac blackout bullets. Also, for supersonic I have been using the same lube without any leading issue. Quick'n easy with no mess.

That is what I am using now. Love how easy it is. Just always looking for something better.

Thanks Chris

at 1k fps just about anything with wax and oil will work.

I would like to get a deer this year with it. Do you think he 45-45-10 will sill shoot ok in cold weather. Say around 30

Thanks

I would think so, haven't had any issues with the other calibers I load it in. I also shoot the 245 with 45/45/10, works perfectly.

I'm thinking about deer as well but will probably up the velocity to around 1450 or so.

I live a sheltered life here in SW Idaho. Tell me what 45/45-10 is, if you would be so kind...?

rich it's in a sticky in the lube section but here is the short description.
you cook the solvents out of johnsons paste wax.
mix the results 50-50 with xlox.
then add 10% mineral spirits.

there are several variations but the cook off of the solvents is critical.
and adding the mineral spirits back is the key to the lube drying faster.
i have added b-wax,used tre-wax,mixed trewax 50-50 with the jpw [the way i like to do it to see it better] i also use xlox thinned and not the lee stuff.

my version is 50-50 jpw-tre wax 50-50 xlox mineral spirits then 20% by eyeball b-wax.
it comes out like a 22 coating and works quite well.

Have you checked out the trajectory of that load to ranges, that you may spot deer at?

[grrifles]

Not yet. Right now just out to fifty yards and it will hold 2 to 2.5 inches Part of that might be me.
