You fellers have just convinced me to try the 45-45-10 formula. Going to get a can of Johnson's tomorrow on my way back from a gun show.

Thanks for all the replies. I tried to post a photo of Johnson Paste Wax in the 16 ounce YELLOW can and was

YEP..............am seeing that now. Will cut back the amount of lube and "thin" it with paint thinner and see what happens. I've got a bunch more to cast in 5 calibers in 2 styles each. ...

I was gathering some guns to take to cabin next week including a .223 Ranch Rifle and Ruger #1 in .223.
So, for kicks, loaded some military brass with 55 grain FMJ for the first time...
Chutes, Dixie and all..........THANKS AGAIN!!
PART of the idea is getting more loads per pound, but the FUN is plinking soft recoil rounds. In my youth, I was not happy with my "new" Old...
Flados..............this is really good to read.............. I do not have Quickload and not exactly sure what it is. I do have a Chrony but seldom go to all the trouble to set it up on a...
