    Bull Plate?

    Would like to try some and did a bit of searching on here. Gather the vendor was Bullshop but didn't find that.

    Is this stuff available any more and where?

    I love the stuff. Traded some lead for some years ago when he was in Alaska, still have some left. Don't know if he is still in business or not.

    Save yourself the trouble and use a full synthetic two stroke oil. It’s works the same and is a lot cheaper. I’ve used NOE’s version, the oil that Miha sends w/ his molds and different brands of full synthetic two stroke oil. They all work the same.

    An ounce will last a lifetime if you don't spill it. I now use Amsoil Saber 2 stroke oil, works just the same.

    A note I'm a bit hesitant to add, but it is germane. Those (me included) who elect to you synthetic 2-stroke oil need to know that it comes in "two flavors". One is for mixing with petrol for use in outboard motors and similar, generally having a "W" in its i.d -- e.g., TCW-3. The one which works for mould spru-plate usage is for AIR-cooled 2-cycle application -- e.g., chain saws and similar. A few years back, my bro in law had not much happiness using the 2-cycle oil, until he told me the brand/type -- from a major outboard manufacturer. He then purchased some for air-cooled, and... problem solved.

    Thanks George, good to know! All I had was air-cooled, and it's been working fine for me, once my original bullplate was used up/spilled out. Guess I lucked out there!
    I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
    My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.

    Do you trust your casting thermometer?

    not bullshop but if you like ill go buy a quart of 2 stroke synthectic oil and break to down into 2 oz bottles and sell them each for the price of the quart if you want. Im not saying that's what he did but I will say theres not spit difference in performance using ANY 2 stroke syn. oil at your parts dealer.

    I've been using Stihl synthetic 2 stroke chainsaw/ fuel mixing lube for a few years now. Works very well!

    Seems I always have a lot around the shop. LOL

    I use the A/C compressor oil stuff but the synthetic 2 stroke oil works fine. A 2oz bottle is a lifetime supply for most of us.

    Look for JASO FD , ISO-L-EGD , API-TC spec. numbers , these are for 2 stroke , hand held equipment like chain saws , weed eaters and leaf blowers .

    Not knowing what to buy I bought a small bottle of chain saw oil and one for outboard motors , both were synthetic . For mould lube the chainsaw oil works great ....the other not so much.
    No one told me there was a right and wrong one...they just said "Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil"...they aren't all the same .

    If you can find it, Ipone scooter oil comes in strawberry scented. It's very good synthetic oil and smells great. Runs good in my dirt bikes too.

    I bought an 8 oz. bottle of Briggs & Stratton 'Easy Mix 2-Cycle Oil' about a year ago. Works great applied to sprue plates, mold handle hinges, and mold mounting screws. Pretty good for oiling wood chisels after sharpening, too. Still have about 7 1/2 oz. left.
