I've read in a number of places the secret recipe for the Lee LLA to be mixed with the same amount of Johnson Paste Wax (45% each) and the last ten percent to be of mineral spirits. Yes I've been forwarded the tell it all video of making the mix but was left with more questions than answers. It sounded like you put the equal amounts of LLA and Paste Wax into the pot and melt it. Then while it is still on the warm side of things you'd add the ten percent of mineral spirits to thin out the mix, adding or subtracting the amount of mineral spirits to balance out the viscosity of the overall mix.
This got me to thinking that if the Johnson paste wax can eliminate the nasty, sticky portion of tumble lubing your bullets, could some SPG lube be used in say a 33/33/33 percent amount with the LLA and the Paste Wax? Then if even necessary, use only the very smallest portion of mineral spirits just to get the stuff flowing out your bottle to tumble lube your boolits? Not having done any of this type of lubing (save using straight LLA which stunk big time), I figured what's the harm in trying another mix just to see how it works?
What I think I'll end up with is a thicker blend at the end of the process, yet it will still retain the un-sticky attributes from the inclusion of the Paste Wax. In SASS days, I use to knurl the boolits to allow more lube to be applied and it worked except for the fact that the knurling makes for a larger diameter that has to be resized. This time, starting with a smaller mold, then knurling, then re-sizing (but only taking off one to two thousandths instead of 5-6 as before) I think I may have a winner? Anyone mess with this stuff?
