With the .45, the .357/.38Spl, and the .22, all with the right ammunition.

The .40 S&W? Lucky shots. Gave up on load development for that one years ago.

The .38 S&Ws? I know better than to try.

Well, that Quest thread/project was supposed to address that with a lube that worked from about 10F or lower all the way up to 110+. I think that SL-67B was one of the better results. There was also...

Like stated above, I would start with measuring the sized diameters followed by A/B testing of the commercial boolits with the lube removed and replaced with your lube. Some reliable-looking testing...

You forgot no. 5:

round balls NEED to be round.

Late to this party and thanks to all who have tossed in their information and experiences. I'm seriously considering buying from White Label since the micro wax parts of SL-series lubes are sold in...

Um, the 1960s-vintage purpose-built cases for wax bullets. Bullseye pistol shooters used them for indoor at home practice. The cases came with the flash holes already enlarged to avoid primer...

Since the old Red Jet/Sampson Machine Works tong tools used with aluminum cases still seem to be Unobtanium, any suggestions on a substitute? Without spending buck$$ on genuine Lyman 310s?

I'm...

My oddly good and bad memory tells me some dude here a few years ago decided to tear down and rebuild and re-paint his electric lead furnace then got cajoled into doing it for others. For a good-guy...

So all youse guys with access to those optical "gun" thingies that analyze our lead samples--please inform us whether that tech can also analyze the brass moulds offered by reputable makers these...

Yup, THAT one! Glad to see it has a good following. Another case of Dad was right, it is a good bullet. If I shot more lead out of something other than the .30 Carbine, I'd think about picking up a...

Well that IS the one!!! Looks like the meplat really is closer to 0.1-inch.

I've thought about having the nose of the 311313 machined out to that profile. Would use a bit less alloy and let ya...

My Dad brought a large handful of these home from a match (possibly Camp Perry) in the early '60s and tried a few light loads with them. I always thought it was a SAECO bullet but am not too sure any...

GREAT to have these recommendations and personally informed reports. Rumor and internet legend (and before that GunZine legends) bore and annoy me.

But anyone know WHY graphite is so low on the...

Or moly disulphide for that matter?

I searched this sub-forum for "graphite sprue plate" without the quotes and the dry lube options are mentioned or recommended by very few.

Right now I am...

sorry, double post. Browser locked up.

Way back in the day when the .40 Sqeak & Whistle was still new, a college buddy gave me the only personal firsthand account of being there when a Glock blew a case wall. He was working in the Gunsite...

Well, my recovered .38 and .45 boolits going from 700-850 fps keep all of their TAC-1 in the grooves out the barrel and through impact. Hitting a rock will knock it out or scrub it off.

Even...

Well, I'm feeling vindicated. Been sayin' for years that the only reliable "pressure sign" is the bullet. As in how fast it's going. If yur gittin' much more speed than the manuals or QuickLOAD say...

I'm one of those guys who wants only a pound of one, or a pound each of two or three, microwaxes to cook up some Soap Lube.

Posts in the Lube forum indicate that blendedwaxes.com remains on the...

An old thread indeed. New post brought me in.

I don’t remember any item/catalog number but this sounds like their full wadcutters. But at least one comment is about SWCs. Being familiar with FWCs...

Well, I can now confirm that the casting/milling wax laying about my shop is indeed way too hard to use in an SL-68 style bullet lube. Too hard and crumbly to hand-lube for shooting experiments. Too...

For those that go solid, there's a needle penetration test. I never studied the details, but vaguely remember there might even be two versions or needle sizes or weight standards.

First page of...

Oh, I have more than a pound of it available. At a match this weekend so buying a disposable pot and cooking up my first soap lube will still have to wait. And the mornings have finally started to...
