45-45-10 Tumble lube for production

[lar45]

Hi everybody. Recluse and I have been chatting back and forth about putting 45-45-10 into production to be a regular product from White Label Lube. The ease of application and great results while shooting looks like it's a great lube.

Here is his writeup on it(sticky at top of lube forum) . http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=67654

I have over 100 gallons of Liquid Alox on hand and we're looking into Johnson't Paste Wax in bulk or a reasonable replacement. I already have 8 oz bottles and pour lids that I use for Liquid Alox.


I'm not sure on a price yet, but will try to keep it as reasonable as possible.

I'll post updates here as the project progesses.

do we have any votes for a good name for it? Or just call it 45-45-10?

When it looks like I'm pretty close to the right mix, I'll probably be looking for some volunteers to test and give feedback or suggestions.

Thanks
Glenn.

How about RecLox?

I have been using 45-45-10, I got the recipe and appllication directions from Recluse's sticky. I really like it, fast, easy, and it works great in its velocity/pressure range.
That said, I think that if it is acceptable to Recluse, the name of the product should bear refrence to Recluse. How about Recluse- Alox-Tumble Lube, R.A.T. lube for short?
This lube woould be great for people just starting out who don't want to cook up their own lube. A lot of people buy tumble lube molds to get started because of cost, but get discouraged and quit because of the issues w/ straight LLA. I think this product along w/ Recluse's instructions would help a beginner or anyone have more success right from the start. I would be willing to experiment w/ the product. Good luck w/ this product devolpment.

I think it's a great Idea as I have read lots of posts where members are having a hard time finding jpw.I also think it would really help the new guy as he could get a inexpensive and quick way to lube there boolits that would be properly mixed. As far as a name goes how about recluses 45/45/10 lube to keep it easy

LAR45 I believe it is a great idea. If you need someone to help test I'll be happy to. I'm using 45/45/10 exclusively on my handgun boolits atm.

Oh, and a +1 for homage to Recluse in the name.

[WallyM3]

I'd like to add my poor mettle in favor of including Recluse's handle in the name.

I just did a couple of thousand boolits yesterday with his formula.

[gunsablazin]

R.A.T. Lube! I like that one. You can put me down as a tester.

[geargnasher]

I've referred to it as "Recluse Snot" at least once, but that probably won't promote sales! Then there's "RecLube", but that might catch the attention of proctologists.

It is a good formula, I'm sure it would be an excellent addition to the lineup.

Rec-lube?

[deerslayer]

I will be glad to test for you!

[Edubya]

Why wouldn't you just get Carnuba like WilGen did? You could use a lot less since the JPW is only 5% Carnuba. Then maybe call it Lar-Rec or Rec-Lar.

Rec-lube?

Rectal...............proctologist................ nothing more to be said.

Isn't it hard with so many knowing nothing of product realities but marketing based on catchy things like "bore butter" and "bore snake" ?

How about something like "XYZ Lube" with the XYZ simply being contributor's initials? A well used product will have its own nickname in time. Enough of this "XXXSNOT", "holy black", adolescence.

BvT, you left us hanging, or was your intention to just throw out a slam and just disappear? Us less knowledgeable are waiting for your educated suggestion/recommendation....

Who here would Not want to 'test' a reported proven lube?? I ask you! As to a name for it, I like 'Rexlox'.

The suggestion to goto pure carnauba seems economical. The point about unavailability of JPW is true here. (We CAN get Minwax.)

[deerslayer]

How about the "tumble lube formula # 2" since it is kinda the 2nd generation of a good formula (pure alox being the first)

[Reloader06]

"Enough of this "XXXSNOT", "holy black", adolescence."
Didnt realize we could not have a little fun along the way. Wont happen again.
