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!

Thanks for all the info fellas

So you don't see a problem with tumble lubing right over top of the lube that's already on the bullet?

Minerat, are you saying you had a bad effect with this combo or it works good? Sorry

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...

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

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.

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.

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?

The .450 was in between the grooves. From groove to groove its was .44 something can't remember off the top of my head.

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.

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?

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...
