    Free lube- TAC X for the 1st 5 daring individuals

    Yeah!, free lube in a nice little white box (save for storing ammo) to the first 5 that post here. I will PM you for your address

    TAC X is a newer lube slightly harder and higher melt temp than the standard TAC 1.

    TAC X is still in the experimental stage so the recipe is not tattooed on my behind yet. I'll send out to each 2 hollow sticks...I don't expect a detailed report, just an honest try...
    Nope, it is not made for the hottest desert on earth. It is made for the warmer regions with higher than average temps than WI.

    So far the ingredients don't separate in hot temps, it is low smoke and it works. I don't have any ranges set for melt temps yet. Give it a good go and let me know what you think. It is not for sale yet.

    OK, I'll bite. I've bought your beeswax and it's great so I'm sure your lube is super as well.

    Do you want it tried in pistol or rifle? I already use your TAC1 entirely so I will be able to give a good review.

    I can personally attest to these attributes. I have not finished my official testing due to time but Randy provided me a few sticks about 8 weeks ago. Low smoke and temp stability at higher temps seen in Georgia. It works just as well as Tac1 and I actually prefer the TacX as it's easier for me to handle after sizing and lubing. It's not as tacky but works just as well. I see no difference in accuracy as well and if anything, perhaps a little better (less lube purge?). If you like Tac1, you'll love TacX.

    I'm interested too. However since I'm not #5 I'll pay for it.

    Mine arrived today. I have to empty my sizer but I will load up some 35 Whelen and see how it handles the heat next week. It's been a cool summer but it mightt make it back up into the 90's sometime soon.

    So far TAC X is going to be my mainstay lube and use my TAC 1 for extreme cold weather... I'm working on getting up for sale soon at the same price as TAC 1
