Just got into casting recently and have only been casting for 45 acp. Haven't actually shot any yet because I live in ny and am towards the end of my pistol permit process. I'm antisapating shooting my 1911 as much as I shoot my 12 gauge and 30.06 so I'm stockpiling 45 acp cast boolits.
Even more recently I have made some boolit lube and I wanted to see what you guys thought about my recipe. In my own stupidity I didn't measure or weigh any ingreedients so I'm estimating here....
3 parts parafin (green apple candle wax, which smells delicious)
1 part bees wax
1 part (maybe even a little less) white lithium Greece
And a few green crayons crayons.
The lube is soft enough for me to push my finger into it and gets very soft and messy when I handle it with my fingers being 98 deg. And I can push the boolits out of the lube by the nose and fills the groves well.
I'm planing to only use the lube for 45 acp at low velocities and wanted to see what you guys thought of my lube recipe. I have heard that you can lube 45 acp with almost anything but wanted to see what you guys thought.
Thanks fellas.
