    Ben's red in the 45acp

    This lube is extremely impressive in its ability to not only work but excel in a wide variety of different loads. My latest endeavor with the Ben’s red lube was with 200g bullets with full house loads of universal clays in the 45acp. I went to the range with 150 rounds of ammo & this is what my bbl looked like after running 1 tight patch thru it.

    VERY IMPRESSIVE TO SAY THE LEAST!!!! Thank you BEN.

    You are very welcome Forrest.
    I'm so glad that you're having good results with the lube.
    The lube seems to perform equally well in pistol and rifle loads.

    I shot my Tikka 30-06 today . Ben's Red used in my loads also.
    My bore looks just like yours. I don't even clean mine anymore.
    Bring the rifle home and put it in the safe.
    I fired about 35 rounds today.

    Here was my load :

    Distance to the target - 50 yards
    5 shots
    SAECO # 301 HP ( HP Work done by Buckshot )
    Sized .310"
    17.5 grs. 2400
    Wolf LR Primer
    Burris 1-4 X Variable

    Hard to try it all and get it all done.
    So much to do and so little time to do it in.

    Thumbs up

    Nice group Ben!!!

    You're getting pretty stacked 3 & 4 deep in the 30 cal world. Haven't herd any more about the 311465 pill you were trying. That bullets has a red heads temper, a little Ben's red should settle it down. They like to be all prettied up & Ben's red is their favorite color.

    *I'm telling you this lube lets me get away with things that shouldn't even begin to be happening.
