I recently had the opportunity to chat with a "cast" member who's handle is kywoodwrkr. We talked back and forth, and I let him know that I wanted to create my own lube based on some of the recipes on this site. I wanted to find or create the best multipurpose lube in the world.
After a while, he told me that he too was on a quest and had accumulated a bunch of diffferent lube types and that I could have all his tubes to help me on the quest. I was blown away at his generosity and plan on sending him a care package of my own to help him as much as I can.
Now back to the subject--He gave me two full 2 pound tins of the original felix lube that he purchased from felix himself some years ago. My question is for those who have used or still use the felix lube as published on this site. Is there any way to improve on this formula, or is it the best multipurpose lube in the entire galaxy?
I am currently using rcbs lube sticks that i melt down and pour into my star sizer. They work O.K. for low pressure pistols, but I find that if I run 230 grain .45 colts down my 1892 winchester, I get leading in the barrel. I was planning on using the 50/50 formula as a base and then add different components to perfect the already very good mix.
It is still cold in Michigan, but when the snow finally stops flying, I plan on getting to the garage for some serious business. Is there anything I could/should add to the Felix formula, or is it already at it's max potential? Any and all advise is appreciated.
