Yesterday I received my lyman casting kit with lyman 4500 bullet sizer. The kit came with 1 tube of moly lube and the nice people at natchez for some reason threw in 1 extra tube of moly, 1 tube of orange magic, and one tube of lyman alox. My question is should I even use these lubes I have 8 tubes of BAC from white label on its way.
Keep in mind I am new to all this. I just bought my first bullet mold which is a flat nose 357 bullet I plan to try to push pretty hard in my 4" barreled 686.

looks like there is not too many lyman lube fans
My suggestion would be to finger lube about 20 rounds with each lube and check for leading. Be carefull though there are a lot of variables to consider wich will change the leading characteristics like, bullet size .001 over bore diameter is a good place to start. How hard the bullet is "alloy", how hard your pushing them, and climate your shooting in
You could just put them away and if by some chance you are out of lube use it until you get your stash renewed or trade them off. The BAC will spoil you.
