    I tend to cast 3000 at a time using 2 moulds, and I have found that if I lube the pins, pivot, and sprue every half hour then things continue to go smoothly. I don't bother to make sure there are bullets in the mould, but I use a very lightly lubed q tip so it works fine. I have moved my lube into a different bottle with a very small pour tip as I have knocked my bottle over twice. Be nice if Mr Bullshop would change bottles. This stuff works so well that I have 2 extra bottles sitting in a drawer just in case The Bullshop ever decides to stop making it. Haven't tried it as a lube yet as I only shoot BP.

    I'll give it a plug as a resizing lube. My 96-year-old father was looking for a project, so I set him up to process milsurp brass. He went through about 7,000 .223 cases without any problems...just wanted to know what the "magic juice" was; "they didn't have anything like that when I had my shop in the '40s and '50s." Now he's just about through 3,000 .308 cases without a hitch.

    Now that the GB moulds have arrived, I'll have to try try Bull Plate Lube for it's original purpose...
    Plans and dreams are what we have until life gets in the way.
