    Bullet swaging lubes... using high pressure grease?

    Hey guys.

    Been a LONGGGGG time.

    Just started swaging copper jackets. I'm using lanolin/castor oil mix like most here. Tried to read a million posts with no actual answer provided.

    Has anyone -ACTUALLY- tried just using cheap, simple, high pressure lithium axle grease for the same process?
    Any reason why it wont work? Pros/cons.
    I'm not having dramas with the lanolin at all. Just wondering if maybe it would simply work better and everyone is just stuck on a round about of "I did this, cause my grand-dad did this, as did his sisters brothers cousin, and it always worked fine for me."
    And then it just never got changed... I'd draw a likeness to the 6.5 Creedmoor crowd... (trolling )
    Thanks team.
