Lube types

[bushwack]

I am new to this casting but have learned a lot already from this forum, thanks to all. I am going to be casting for a 9mm (smith and wesson m & p, browning high power, high point carbing) and was wondering what the best lube was.
I have narrowed it down to LLA or JPW or a mix with beeswax. But if your mixing with LLA does it need to be the Alox 350?
Does anyone have a recipe using LLA, JPW and beeswax. Or would it be best to just go with Lars BAC?
Could you give me your input.
Thanks for your help.

I have Javelina (50% beeswax and Alox) in the for sale section.....

Buy the BAC until you have your casting down and can branch out. There is a sticky on lube recipes. Read Glen Fryxell sticky section and buy Lyman Cast Bullet book. Later David

thin the lla out 50-50 with mineral spirits add about 1/4 the amount you think you need.
tumble them, let dry for a day or so.
i like to then mix jpw 3 parts to 1 part melted b-wax.
stir together till it forms a nice paste [consistancy] and is still warm, then do the 1/4 as much as you think you need thing again.
let sit for another day or so and load. it will look kinda flaky but will firm right up as it sits.

+1 on the thinned out LLA or Lars Liquid Xlox. I have both and they are the easy and inexpensive way to go. If you want a heavier coat, let the first application dry and then do them again. I often will size and lube my oversized boolits with BAC then after loading I will paint the bore rider nose section with thinned LLA so that little lead is unlubed. After the first couple of shots this is most likely not needed but I am kinda anal about some things and I take the time.
