So I made up a big batch of Felix lube about 2 years ago. Whenever my reservoir runs low, I heat it in a double boiler, stir it, and pour it in.
When I made it it was quite stiff, about as hard as I can run in my RCBS unit without a heating element. The lube on the bullet was hard with very little tackiness.
Now it's like tar. It's sticky, runs under the bullet base in the sizer, pulls out of grooves easily, and is generally a mess.
It still works fine in terms of firing though, with little or no leading.
What's up here? Did it spoil somehow? The wax break down? I'm thinking of adding a little paraffin to it to stiffen it.
