Woooops, sorry Ben my I had to change settings on my Droid to see the pics. Got it now.....:-)

Oh and I have seen other forum talk about the now discontinued famous Rooster Jacket coating was a liquid floor wax of some kind, but nobody really knows exactly from what I've read. So you are on to...

Ben, could you post a picture of the Johnson wax you are using. I did a search and got about 6 different hits for Johnson's Floor Wax. Thnx....

I don't consider lube formulas as being exactly correct in measurement for the bullet lube to work. Unless a recipe calls for volume as in cups or fluid ounces, I weigh my ingredients. The specific...

Mike,Like Ben's Red, do you think some JPW would toughen up the Satan's lube instead of just dropping the ratio of the petrolium jelly?

OP
Answer to your question is there is not (hardly) any difference between measuring by weight or by volume. By all practical sense concerning ingredients of bullet lubes; the specific gravity is...

I didn't mean to post that I was going to argue, and I don't deny centrifucal force. I'm just saying not to blow revolutions to extremes by giving it a minute to fly downrange. A pistol shot at...

I've argued this point fer years now. A bullet will never travel for a minute, so why say it is going 4,500 rpm? Might as well say it is doing 270,000 revolutions per hour. For all practical purposes...

Yup, I won't smoke a cigar without a snort of Maker's Mark to flush and avoid harmful tar and nicotine buildup....

Hey, good idea...dinosaur oil! Has anybody tried Texas crude with some bee's wax?????

Maybe just a touch of Carnuba wax or possibly JPW . Carnuba wax always helped carry my dry thin lubes to the full length of the barrel.....

I take orffense to that, JeffNZ is my hero. When are ya all gonna quit purple haggling around and git back ta the lube quest topic...

Nutty gritty of it? It's a whole lot easier to buy a high pressure lube to fill a lubrisizer, then yer covered for most hi velocity load, pistol or smokeless rifle. No need to look far, a few sell it...

Amen. I sensed some friction here from the coating fellas and am really relieved to be back in nothing but the greasy bunch a posts :-)

When I was making lithi-bee lubes trying different greases, I had good luck with 'Green' grease sold at Autozone. Maybe it might work using Ben's formula. It can be made to test by a...

You guys are crazy. I'm not a doctor but I know daily absortion of petrolium distilates in the skin will also be absorbed into the liver and pancreas and may cause damage over time. You'd be better...

I use measurements by weight. The specific gravity of all the components are within practical range to give correct ratios by weight.......

I tested a chunk of commercial grade shea butter a few years ago. It has good qualities towards friction and high heat, but only as good as other vegetable base oils. I gave up trying it as a base...

I have found that 10% Carnuaba wax is about the maximum addition to a lube. Anymore in a rifle will build up too much in the barrel and cause fliers, handguns I don't know. You already have some...

Oh, good idea. I used to throw my dirty patches on the floor of my pickup, but the smell don't last long............

Yup, ol Alox lube and the 'old' Hoppes #9. The two best smells in all my shooting years!!!!!!!

If you tumble lube, you will naturally leave lube on the nose. If you are using a lubrisizer with typical cb lube in the grooves, I find smearing additional lube on the bore-ride nose makes no...

White Label's tumble lube 45/45/10 will work on any style a cb. Ranch Dog and Lee tumble groove bullets can be lubes in the 4500 lubrisizer, but the 45/45/10 lube is a quality product with easy...

Bill, you don't really need to experiment trying other lubes. Carnuba Red is WWL's maximum performance lube, but more than likely will need a heater. Their BAC lube is probably the most popular cb...

You don't need to change lubes in your 4500 every time you want to try a new cb lube. You can apply lube on test number of bullets pressing the lube in with your fingers, then striking the excess off...
