alox lube

I have bullets that I have lubed with liquid alox and stored in a coffee can for over a year.
My question is; do these need to be relubed before I load and shoot them, or just go ahead as they are?

If they have not acquired dust and dirt from sitting around uncovered for many years they will be just fine. I store bulk bullets in ammo cans until needed and am just now using up Saeco #348 double-end wadcutters cast from FBI-Quantico backstop scrap which I put up in 1987.

I use the 45/45/10 for tumble lube. It's a blend made from Alox. Have had no issuses with bullets after long storage GW

I am transitioning to powder coat, but I always stored my lubed bullets in sealed plastic containers like peanut butter jars.

I have stored cast bullets lube'd with LLA for many months in plastic containers and have never had an issue.

Load and shoot. The lube’s still there and isn’t going anywhere.

I must be dim witted or something. This forum has created many sub-forums specific to areas of interest or discussion and the appropriate forum for this discussion is: https://castboolits.gunloads.com/for...8-Boolit-Lube-! and is not: https://castboolits.gunloads.com/for...d-Alternatives.

I often see brand new members posting things in the wrong areas, but I have to wonder how someone with over 400 posts hasn't figured it out. In other words, what does ALOX have to do with Powder Coating, Hi-Tec coatings or other non-lube type stuff? Yea I'm showing my *** a bit bit but..."come on man...."

Oley55, it's so good to get information from a "expert" such as you.
Thanks

you are welcome, but one should not confuse expertise of a subject with plain ole common sense, but I digress...

It does seem a moderator has moved your ALOX thread from the Alternative Coatings sub-forum to the Bullet Lubes sub-forum, so it's not just me. Again, you are welcome.

As a matter of fact, I use BLL over my PC'd bullets all the time. What can it hurt.

never thought about it till i read this thread - have pistol + rifle bullets lubed with Lee lquid alox between 9 + 12 years ago that i use w/o any problems - stored loose in clean tight plastic file boxes -

GONRA gotta gallon can of Alox 2831F (?) directly from the manufacturer decades ago
directly from the manufacturer,
per the 1950's/1960'S AR article.

Pure stuff has verkedd GREAT for INSIDE LUBED Auto Pistol Boolits over the decades....
