45-45-10
and a home brewed concoction ,,, 60% beeswax and some other stuff
i.m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round..... i really love to watch them roll ,,,, J,W,L.
me too... got a lifetime supply of wax,paraffin and vaseline. use more paraffn in summer less in winter.Originally Posted by Bwana
What.? Am I the only one.? I bought a package deal and now have just about a lifetimes supply of Mirrorlube. Also use Javelina and Saeco lube ( I forgot the letter).
I lied w/3 ! I have used LBT Blue (hard) for years and have 8 +/- sticks left. FWFL (maybe 8 -10 sticks left). Just made up a lifetime supply of Ben's red (hope I like it). NRA 50/50 for pistols. Trying 45-45-10 in conjunction with standard lube to see if it helps/hurts accuracy. I expect there are some others stashed in with the rest of my lubes. Sorry...is there a Lube Anonymous anyplace?

Powder coating for EVERYTHING. No leading, no smoke from grease, easy to do, very cost-effective. Works on EVERY cal.
No expensive lubra-matic or special "top punches" required either.
Left grease, ATF, beeswax, & Alox back in the smoke & dust well over a year ago and have never looked back.

I use LBT Blue (soft) for almost everything, 45-45-10 for TL, and have been experimenting with Carnuba Red for 150 gr .311.
I use Darrs tweeked w/less vasoline and more STP in all the pistol and rifle for smokeless. I have used Bore Butter for BP but I'm in process to find animal base lube for cased BP that can be used in the C&B and ML as well. Olive/Bee isn't looking bad,but buggy boar is promising too.(bees wax and assorted meat fat tending toward pork for meaness).

Without trial we cannot learn and grow . It is through our stuggles that we become stronger .
Brother I'm going to be Pythagerus , DiVinci , and Atlas all rolled into one soon .
1. Alox or 45-45-10 for Tumble Lube. (mostly 45-45-10 now though)
2. Lyman Orange Magic, BAC or Carnuba Red in the lube sizer.
3. Alternative coatings: like epoxy paint, moly/graphite coatings, or powder coat.
So three I guess, but if you break it down by components it's a few more.

Bought a second LAM1 and a Star. So I'm now using Carnauba Red along w/ 2500+. Will likely stop using 45/45/10 once I have the Star up and running for the bullets I use it on.
I only use 3 lubes and they work at all speeds and calibers.
They are :1- Caranuba Red
2 Caranuba Red
3 Caranuba Red
in an old 4500. If it aint leadin', keep shootin'
1st I normally use 3 different lubes. I run Liquid Alox mixed with JPW for all my tumble lube boolits or sometimes I hand dip boolits into it.
2nd I run pure beeswax mixed with olive or peanut oil for muzzle stuffers and the like.
3rd I use some of white label lubes 2500+ as I got a bunch from them not long ago to play with. Those are the 3 I normally use but I on ocassion will mix them in different amounts to get a harder or softer lube if I need such lubes. I have used White Label carnauba red and x lox too and like those as well but don't have any right now.

TAC-1 and Ben's Red.
I said three but I guess it's closer to five. LLA for most stuff, SPG for BP in one 4500 and 50/50 for high speed stuff in the other. When the 50/50 runs out I'll change over to BAC. If frontstuffers count I use Wonder Lube for round balls.

Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.
I said four: my 4500 has Felix w/extra carnauba, my 45 has Fryxell's MolyGraph and my LAM has 357Maximum's 666+1. Add tumble lube and that makes four.
How many lubes do I have? More than four I can tell you, but some of them were made years ago and still haven't been tested.

Armed people don't march into gas chambers.
BAC, one and done!
LBT is in two of the sizers and Javalina is in the other two . Like the man said Veral may not live forever so I can either buy a life time supply now or look for a replacement . The Javalina stuff should be easy enough to find something as good and inexpensive .

Buy it cheap and stack it deep , you may need it !

The standard LBT Blue Lube. It seems to work for everything.
LLA works fine for what I do.
I goofed, I said one. I use Lyman Orange Magic in the LAMII for most everything, LLA for most every thing on top of that. I'm dabbling with PC some.
I'm just mili-inches away from making up Ben's Red, hopefully to do away with the Orange Magic. Watching the mail for one more ingredient, then it's a go.
I found it easier to have a sizer for each lube.
