    White Label BAC

    BAC has been my go to lube for 10 years now.
    I have Carnauba Red, 2500, and 50/50.
    What do the users of White Label use?? What applications?? Different ambient shooting temperature??
    What velocities, Rifle, Pistol, Both??

    Same here with BAC. 750-1825fps. I'm conflicted to try any other WL lube.

    I was (and still am) totally pleased with 2500+ for all pistol and rifle loads. I started to PC because of the smoke and I realise that powder is partly to blame. How smokey are the other WL lubes?

    I use 2500+ predominantly for everything. But a Star is filled w/ CR. I also use CB. They all work very well. CB doesn’t smoke like 2500+ but it’s not like that smokes much to begin w/. If I had to pick one it would be 2500+.

    Carnuba Red for everything.......9 mm to 338 Winchester Magnum and everything in between. Both the Star and the LAM filled with it.

    When I lube, it's now CB. I do have about 10 sticks of BAC in the shop refrigerator still and would use it if I hadn't tried CB. In the south I found BAC would get sticky (bullets sticking together) and CB doesn't. Honestly I didn't find any difference in accuracy and maybe BAC was a little smoky compared to CB, but they are both very good.

    I was using BAC for handgun loads but found it to be generally too hard. I switched to 50/50 and had much better results.

    When dealing with 38 Special and 45 ACP, 50/50 is just a far better lube. I don't think the velocities are high enough to take advantage of harder consistency of BAC.

    The drawback to 50/50 is that it can be a bit difficult to live with prior to loading the bullet in the case. So I don't recommend lubing bullets with 50/50 and then storing loose bullets for extended periods of time, particular in a hot environment.

    Before I switched to SL68B, I used several lubes...two of them were White label's lubes, Carnuba Red and BAC.
    I used BAC for mild pistol loads and Carnuba Red for Magnum pistol loads.

    I've ran 50/50 of whatever brand forever.
    Finally got in 12 sticks of BAC the other day. Guess I'll find out........

    I use Carnauba Red for my revolver bullets. I pan lube and it works nice in the summer here but the winter it is a bugger to cut the bullet out of the lube in my unheated shop.
