What keeps lube in place?

[Farmall 1066]

I noticed, when setting targets at a match several weeks back, most of the cast bullets fired at 15-20yds still had the grooves full of lube.
I'd think centrifugal forces would sling it out of the grooves shortly after leaving the muzzle.
Anyone have an answer?

Viscosity!

What typically separates ok lubes from good ones.

High quality loob grooves come with a light coat of loob gloo which does its job very well in most cases. I think there's a vendor of quality loob grooves among the CB membership...

I think the lube patrol.

I don't know, but the stickier the lube is the better luck I've had in .38spl and .357mag loads. In most wheel guns it seems about the same. Semi-autos, its mixed results.

It depends on the individual lube grooves. Some are more fit for holding lube than others.

I've tried a number of them, but finally just settled on buying mine from Waksupi. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...e+grooves+sale Lube has stayed on the boolits every time ever since.

this is where your mothers nippel cream comes in it will not sling off like you might think and a little bit goes a long ways but please use it for cast bullets only thankyou

+1, his Grooves are top quality! Only problem is dirt really sticks to the grooves if you drop them while trying to put 'em on the boolit!

What if your Mom casts boolits?

For the insiders, I am for a limited time, throwing in a free toohark with every order of Loob Grooves. It is illegal to send them outside of Montana, so please keep it quiet.

[crabo]

I've found the toohark really helps with the installation of the lube grooves. I've also noticed if I keep the grooves in my freezer, they stay fresh longer.

Agreed, but Ric suggested vaccum-sealing them first for maximum freshness.

I've also found if I schmanneal them with a 1:1 mixture of odorless mineral spirits and propwash, the lube adheres even better.

Then she can supply the nipple cream. If she won't supply it, it is available at WalMart in the baby needs aisle.

[Tom W.]

They may stay fresh longer, but the loob isn't compatable without the propwash and Hoolimonger extract.

[cubflyer75]

the casing... wow, that's pretty elementary

[runfiverun]

they were most likely store bought with improper lube. mainly microcrystaline wax and food coloring.
shot it for years till i wanted performance not holes at 15 feet.
