    what lube is this?

    This weekend I bought a pre-owned RCBS LAM2. When I got it home and opened the lube cylinder, it has a green lube in it. Its very soft and flows well without heat.

    What are your opinions on what this lube is? Or what its good for?

    When I bought my Lam 2, it came with a stick of green lube. I believe it's pistol lube and that's probably what's in yours.

    I agree sound like rcbs pistol real good stuff but real pricey. I also used on 30-30 target loads. Lbt blue and carnauba red have worked good for me. IMO lars lubes are the deal.

    Is this it? I haven't seen it in a while but recall it being more green. Might just be the photo. I knew fellows who used it. Never heard anything negative.
    Kind of spendy though.

    You could by four sticks of lube from Larsen's for what 1 stick of RCBS lube costs.
