So for the last few years I have been scooping powder and weighing it in a powder dish on my digital scalet. Im about done doing that, yeah its accurate but takes way too long. Anyone use a digital...

Yeah I'm going to try the citric acid next time.

So normally I Dont clean my brass but thought I would give it a try. I used the old NRA mix of 1 pint of hot water, 1 cup of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of dish soap.
Shook them...

Well then in going to lube these bullets up with JPW and see what happens. Thanks for the input!
Forum: Boolit Lube !
So you don't see a problem with tumble lubing right over top of the lube that's already on the bullet?
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Minerat, are you saying you had a bad effect with this combo or it works good? Sorry
Forum: Boolit Lube !
Is there any negative things that could happen if I just tumble lubed my already factory lubed bullets with jpw? Would they be too lubed? Could this help with leading? Sorry for all the questions...
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I guess I don't know how soft or hard I need the lube to be?

I Dont have a sizer as I am not casting yet.

I have some already sized bullets that are lubed. Can I clean the lube off and powder coat them, then just load and shoot them or do they need to be resized? Thanks
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I will give those a try. I have a bunch of lasercast and gt bullets that already have lube on them but it appears it may be too hard. I plan to scrap the lube off or melt it off with a hair drier and...

I have a post in the cast boolits section about my 45 colt redhawk getting some leading. It was suggested that I might need some softer lube. I dont have any alox and would like to make my own...

Thanks for the info. So I would guess with 10.0 grains and a 225 grain bullet from my 4" barrel I would be getting at least 1000 fps probably a little more.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Ok I will think about either getting some alox lube OT powder coating. Either way I plan to start getting into casting and plan on getting molds for gas checking.
Forum: Cast Boolits
So powder coating? So if I got some powder coating and scraped the lube off and powder coated them it might fix the leading issue? Would the hollow points still expand?
Forum: Cast Boolits
The .450 was in between the grooves. From groove to groove its was .44 something can't remember off the top of my head.
Forum: Cast Boolits
I measured with digital calipers. The leading is mostly in the forcing cone and the first few inches of the barrel. Its not horrible leading but its there. Not sure what a lube star is.
Forum: Cast Boolits
So I have heard that your bullet should be .002 to .003 larger then your cylinder throats. I measured the bore and it is .450. So my cylinder throats are .4515 and about a 1/2" from the muzzle my...

Ok cool, will have to try and find some and give it a try. I have a bunch of beeswax on hands, anyone to make a lube with beeswax?
Forum: Cast Boolits
Hey, haven't posted much here or lately but I thought I would ask a few questions.
I recently picked up a Ruger Redhawk in 45 colt (not 45 colt and 45 acp). Its has a 4" tube and I love it, great...
