    Lube question???

    I've been saving my loose change for the last few months to buy a sizing press, and all the other goodies to size my bullets, plus "hopefully", I'll have enough for a good 357 mould to boot. I'm trying to teach my 7 year old daughter how easy it is to save up a pile of money pretty quick even if it's just plain old change. She's catching on, and has now saved up some of her allowance to the tune of around $50 all by her self.

    Back to my question...

    I'm gonna order a Redding lube-sizer. I picked up some lube a while back just to see what it was like. From my very limited knowledge, it seems to be pretty good stuff for anything except maybe full house big magnum loads. It's called Javalina bullet lube. Is this stuff pretty good, or should I get something else for my 32 magnum loads(600-1100 fps), and light 357 loads(less than 1000 fps)?

    Thanks!

    Javelina is just one brand name for NRA formula lube. It's been the standard lube for decades and should serve your needs well.
    Sometimes you gotta wonder if democracy is such a good idea.

    I use Javelina and have shot gas checked bullets over 2000 fps in my 35 Rem. no problem. As long as the bullet fits the bore, etc. you can probably go quite a bit faster I bet.
