Been using the stuff ever since Ben posted it. Best thing since sliced white bread and dry toilet paper. I use it as an overcoat on every thing I size and lube (rifle and handgun). Takes little...

The Lee 170 is a good blt. However, the ugly little 150 lee will probably shoot better in your rifle, and it seems to shoot very well in all 30's. And you save 20 gr. of lead (yah, I am cheap)...

Have known Doc for many years, a good man. Saw Elmer at an NRA convention in DC many years back. As far as I am concerned, If Elmer said he could do it, I take it as fact.
