From Magma engineering, makers of the Star sizer. Seems super low-cost, according to their PDF file for the Star sizer, $10.35 for 9 sticks, (one pound) but don't know how current that price is.

I will be using for the slow moving 45ACP, so don't need the "very best".

Try 50-50 beeswax and vaseline, and alter that ratio until satisfaction for both boolit and equipment. ... felix

I have used the star lube for 45acp and 40 loads for ipsc shooting major power factor. Works well very little smoke while shooting need to have heat to run it through Star or RCBS sizers. I think I bougt 9 stick 10 bucks 9 bucks shipping. I thought shipping was A little high. Now I am using speed green from bullshop.

I'm using up an order of their lube and then I have some samples from White Lube (or is it White Label) to try. The Magna works fine but controlling temperature has been a problem with my heater which makes a mess sometimes.

9 dollars shipping for 10 sticks!!! Wow, I hope they were able to ship it for that price without losing money. I just bought 80 sticks from White label for $96.65
Shipping was 8.65.

I use it for all my handgun applications 38 wadcutter thru .44 mag at 1400fps and in my .357 Rossi single shot rifle with 358429 to 1600 fps. I get no leading and excellent accuracy. I also use it in the 9mm with the 121 lee at 1200 fps with minimal leading (ie. light streak leading that does not build up). I think that $8.75 may be their standard shipping rate as I ordered a size die and 10 sticks of lube and thats what I paid. It does require a heater for your lubrisizer, I use an old iron on a piece of aluminum. Nick
