Hi what lube can you recommend for the 45 cap bullet

[Reload3006]

lithibee, Darr, LLA , 45-45-10 lots of lubes work good. How do you want to lube, With a lube sizer , tumble or pan.?

[daschnoz]

I tumble lubed some with LLA. They worked well.

[garym1a2]

White label bac or 50/50: my 45 acp likes them gooey.

in the acp lube is not under that muuch stress.
proper fit to the throat and bbl diameter will be more help than any lube will be.

[dk1965]

i have a star sizer.

i am from denmark. is there a place where i can buy some in use?

[Reload3006]

ok if your going to be using a lubricator sizer in my opinion the best lube for most pistol rounds is Lithibee. you make it yourself or I think there are people on here that make it and sell it or a version of it.
Get a tube of White lithium grease
use an equal amount of Bees Wax
add 20% paraffin (caldle wax) to stiffen it up (some people just use bees wax and grease)

Darr 1 lb bees wax, 1 lb vasoline , 1/4 cup stp engine oil treatment. Add paraffin wax to stiffen it up to your preference.

Melt the ingredients in a pan (double boiler is best) and either pour into molds or into your lube sizer reservoir.

Contact member Lar45 at WhiteLabelSales@aol.com and see if he will do international shipping. I recommend BAC or 50/50 for the 45. Either is soft enough to run without heat. Carnuba Red needs some heat. If you want to make your own, PM member RandyRat for bees wax, carnuba wax, sterate, lanolin, etc.

[runfiverun]

reloads lithi-bee recipe works well in the star lubers you can also add about 5% carnuba wax to that mix to firm it up even more.
or some ivory soap flakes for the stearate and to help firm up and bind things together.
and a little lanolin to add flexibility and tackiness to the lube.
