Carnuba Red

[Moondawg]

Have any of you guys used White Lable's Carnuba Red on 38 special and/or 45 acp boolits going 800-850 fps? If so, does it work well at those lower velocities? I am thinking of switching to Carnuba Red for my pistol boolits.
Thanks,

I made the Switch to Carnuba Red this past year and most of my shooting is 45 acp. "Carnuba Red is all that i use now"

[btroj]

I used lots of it for just that a few years back. Worked quite well.

That's all I use in a S&W 64-5 38 special, with lead sized .358, and not a trace of leading.

I've used it but switched to White Labels Commercial Red 160 degree, so I could bulk pack the bullets loose for storage. Both perform well the commercial is slightly less tacky and stores with less lube transfer between loose bullets.

How do you rate the smoke off the Carnauba Red lube compared to other lubes?

[monge]

I use it in my 44sp works great good accuracy no leading I do get a little lube on target at 20 yards about 800 fps

I have been using Carnuba Red for the past couple of years in my 38's and my 45 LC. Velocity runs about 720 ft./sec. You shouldn't have any problems.

texas coast would be a good area for the regular red.
it's a good revolver hot weather lube.

I use it on everything from 550fps 32 S&W to 3,000 fps 223 Rem boolits with no problems. Only the really fast loads smoke at all.

Interesting to read these accounts. I'm a new user of Carnauba Red, and intended it for higher-velocity work......but have applied it to some pistol boolits just for grins & jollies. Too many distractions have largely kept me off the range since I set up the new 4500 with CR, but it will happen soon.

I like CR for everything from 9mm to 45-70. I shoot a lot of it in 45acp.

[Rockchucker]

I too like C-Red, however my next order is gonna be the commercial blend. I've heard its not as tacky, although I've been adding some extra bees wax to take care of that problem, using the commercial blend in solid sticks melted for use in the Star should be a little cheaper as well.

If ya gonna buy a lube CR will fill the bill & then some .

When I first found it I used it on everything speeding up boolits in handgun & rifle until I stripped lead ,but the lube still held it`s own !!

My sinuses can`t tolerate alox at all , it stops my head up as tite as a drum , CR has less smoke & does`nt bother my sinuses.

We loaded some up for a SASS shoot , but they did`nt smoke enuff for my buddy.

Another full time user of CR here... for all of my cast boolits...

[Shooternz]

Yep I use only CR now tried all the Lyman offerings the Whites stuff is the best, low smoke, sticks to the boolits real good. Robert

All I use is CR, it'll firm up given a little time after sizing and lubing. The only other lube I use is Rooster Red, but only if I'm casting and sizing handgun boolits for a couple of friends that requested it.

Since I can't get Rooster Red Zambini anymore, I've switched to CR. Seems to fit the bill for me just fine. I use it mostly higher velocity .30 cal stuff. I like softer stuff for my pistol (.38 and .45) and I'm just finishing my very last tube of Tammarack. I've ordered some of White Labels 50/50 to replace that though. You really can't beat their prices.
