Good friend has advised me to wipe off the base of slugs I lube with liquid ALOX before loading. He relates that he uses it but that when he lived in the heat of the South, garage heat caused the ALOX to run into his powder charges. He explained that he disassembled the loads and found the powder was coming out in clumps, which he thought was the ALOX sticking the granules together. My liquid ALOX sized and lubed slugs have never gotten completely dry and retain a bit of gumminess. They are not brown so I don't feel I over lubed them.
I tried three advanced searches here for "ALOX powder contamination, "Liquid ALOX in powder" and "Liquid ALOX powder issues" but results were zero hits. Thanks. Don
