    Looking for a new lube

    Thinking of changing lube from LBT, Its just got to be too much hassle waiting on a response and shipment from them. Who makes a lube as good or better? im not interested in making my own.Thanks

    I recommend Tac1 for just about everything from Randy

    Or

    My recent usage of Carnauba Red has turned in stellar results.

    Tac1 from Randy Rat is excellent, and has a nice pleasant smell.

    Randyrat has returned as a Castboolits Vendor Sponsor with pre-made lubes and ingredients to make your own.

    I guess I am old school.
    Magma lube and a heated Star Sizer is all I have used for many years.

    I've been using Carnauba Red for years. For both rifle and handguns. If this creeping crud doesn't kill me I'll be ordering some more shortly.

    Not meaning to step out of line here but why not try powder coating?

    I will NEVER go back to lubing with wax of any kind.

    Dang! I guess I never checked to see if there was an issue using PC boolits in competition!

    I don't see anything at Quigley about lube, just cast, anybody heard different?

    When WLL came out with the carnauba blue I called and asked about it. Lars told me that if the carnauba red was working to stay with it.

    As far as the creeping crud, it's still got me down. I hope I didn't pick up anything at the Atlanta airport when we went there. I just got out of the hospital a week ago after spending at least a week or so there.
