I'm going to experiment with JPW on some 9mm L356-124-2R bullets out of my Lee 6 cavity mold. In an 8 oz. "Cool Whip" container (similar to a cottage cheese plastic container) I filled the container just over half full with bullets and used a level teaspoon of JPW.

I heated the bullets in a metal pan on my single burner and poured them into the Coolwhip container with the JPW and tumble lubed. This worked very well and the bullets were dry considerably faster than with LLA. Did I use enough wax? I used considerably more wax than LLA.

Well, I found out JPW didn't work well for me in the 9mm M&P. Harder to clean the barrel after 50 rounds than when using LLA with the same load. Rats. I liked how easy the JPW was to apply and quick it dried.
