    How abusive can you be to Ben's Liquid Lube?

    What are some crazy speeds you have pushed bll and had a lead free barrel?

    So far I've seen 2500fps from someone on here

    Not chronographed. First time BLL was used by me with my Mauser FR-8, 7.62x51. Boolits were coated with 3 coats of BLL. Filled commercial .308 case to the case neck with 41.0 gr W760 under Lee 312-155-2R's seated to the bottom of the neck. About a 2", 20 shot group at 100 yards. Temp was about 90*F with darkness coming fast. Shot these one right after another as fast as I could to beat the darkness. I'm guessing around 2500 FPS with my 16 1/2" barrel.

    Both Ben's Red and BLL will take the speed with no problems and no leading providing the boolit fit, and alloy are right for the job.
    Finding the right boolit and powder combination for best accuracy will be your biggest hurdle. 3 light coats of BLL will take those kinds of speeds with ease in the 35 whelen. So will Ben's Red...no problem with either one.

    Best of all...first shots in the group with my rifle.

    BTW Yodog, good shooting with that short bbl. in the heat....very impressive!!

    Have loaded thousands of rounds of different cals with no leading using Ben's lube, love it.
    Are my kids/grandkids more important than "o"'s kids, to me they are,darn tooting they are!!! They deserve the same armed protection afforded "o"'s kids.
    I have been hoodwinked but not by"o"
