lube with no heater.

[hedgehorn]

I have been using carnuba red with my 9mm and 45 acp but I dont have a lube heater and have been just warming up the lubrisizer with my heat gun a little now and then. Is there a lube suited for these calibers that would flow without heat and do a good job? Thanks in advance :smile:

The old standby of NRA lube 50/50 beeswax/alox, it's available from White Label lubes.

Use the WhiteLabel BAC. It's like CR but obviously w/o the carnuba. It's soft enoughto run w/o heat unless it's really cold in your loading area.

Since you are already using WLL, A vote for BAC and if you don't like the tackiness of the boolits just let them set for a few days before handling.

I have some speed green I got from bulshop years ago. and two bricks of beeswax. could I make this with any of these ingredients?

There's carnauba in BAC (Beeswax, Alox, Carnauba)

Just not as much of it as in CR.

Speed green should flow without heat, but it's sticky.
if you can find some carnuba flakes to add to speed green.
that should take away most of the tackiness.

But, if you're going to buy anything, order some BAC from Lars.
I also really like BAC for 9 and 45.

I use White Label lubes. For my purposes in winter, BAC and the 2500 work fine in my Lyman lubrisizer. I can see no difference in performance but 2500 seems not as tacky as BAC. Either is fine lube IMHO !

However, temps do make for different experiences and I find I got to heat my sizer with a lamp for best results with BAC and 2500 if temp in my reloading room is 70 or a bit lower. No big deal.

Good luck.
