    Rather than a tub, put the lube and the bullets in a Ziploc bag. Knead the bag until the coating looks good, open and dump out to dry. BTW this is a great way to lube a large number of cases for resizing, using the RCBS lube. Save the bag for next time.

    The lube which Jerry Alberts used in his bullets was 66% MoS2 in a toluene carrier, then tumbled in calcium stearate after drying. The CaCO3 was not a lubricant as much as to keep bullets from sticking together when fed through the automatic bullet feeders on Camdex loaders in common use at that time. I loaded tons of his bullets in the 1980s.

    Been trying to remember this all day. In the '50s there was a company called itself Zero Bullets that would supply "bullets dusted with white powder". They were in Cullman, Alabama. They always had a small ad in the back of the American Rifleman.
