February 2013 Photo topic:
Boolit Lube !
"we all gotta use it, post photos of making it or applying it or cleaning it up"
Well no one has told me to discontinue the "Castpic of the month" ...yet
so I will gladly continue.
Also, the comments thread is barely used. So, I will not create a comments thread, so go ahead and continue to comment in this Submission thread. Since no one is judging, there isn't any real need to be orderly.
Have fun,
Jon

Yes i have been experimenting with different types of cutters. That one is made from a 22-250 case with the base cut off and stuck in a slightly smaller dia. hole in a wine bottle cork, the imitation type cork. The boolits are cut out with a slight flare on the case mouth then they fit up through the case and out the top. Works pretty well. Joe

Some of my favorite 45 acp boolits waiting to be loaded.
Lee TL452-230-2R tumbled lubed in Recluse's 45-45-10 (JPW-LLA-MS)
Ran through a Lee .452 sizer die.

Jake's Purple Ceresin on a cylinder's worth of 180 gr 10mm RNFP units fresh from the pot, just 20 min ago.
These should be easing their way downrange at about 1,250 fps or so, early next week. This lube is the only thing I use for everything now--I have to run the sizer at about 120-122F, but that's why I like this stuff so much (besides the fact it works)--it doesn't come off on your fingers whatsoever. Sweet.
If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner. T Bankhead
Bongo,
Welcome to Cast Boolits! Since we're not being orderly, +1 for Jake's Purple Ceresin. It is a great lube for hot climates and it looks v.cool after being applied to loob grooves.

These pictures were taken with safety in mind, this was an intentional setup, and the explosion picture was flat out luck of the draw. It just happened to explode as I was trying to get the camera to work, and presto, made for a neat picture.
There was plenty of sand, and two abc fire extinguishers within arm's length, just in case. Luckily, everything worked almost exactly as predicted.
This is why you should never heat lube with a propane burner...
Also, for the believers, this is a lube mix and the open flame wasn't quite touching the pan, it took about 4 minutes to explode.
This one was without the flash, to try and show the height of the flame, it didn't turn out as well as I would have liked.

The picture was taken under a controlled environment, I intentionally set this up for the pictures. I may do it again in video form, just for information purposes.Originally Posted by merlin101

Buzzard's luck!! Can't kill nothin', nothin'll die!!
This is good stuff guys, show us more.
Is this a proprietory lube of yours ?
or can you share some details... it looks kinda blue-green.
if I were to guess, It looks like a Bullplate/JPW blend.

Absolutely nothing special, but you only cast your first batch of boolits once.
.44 caliber 210 gr. RNFP's from a Lee mold.
On edit: Dang it....I was so excited to have bullets finally I forgot we switched to lube this month. Oh well, look at my boolits anyway!!!
