Bullet lube

[Dobetown]

I have moved 10 times in the last 20 years. I have a supply of machine cast hard lubed pistol bullets. They have been stored in temps forn -30 to 120+. Is it possibable for some ingrediants to have dried out. They seem to lead more than they used to. I have been thinking of thinning some Lee and tumbleing a few.

Do it. Even better, make 45/45/10 Recluse lube and tumble them with that.

If you need or want to re lube your bullets with a regular lube then all you have to do is put you bullets in a oven.
I have found and used a lot of my older bullets that were done and not used.
I put them on a pizza pan or cookie sheet and place the oven temperature at 225-250 and the lube will melt from the grooves. They are now ready for re lubing. PS if these pans belong to SWMBO then I suggest you go to the dollar store and purchase some bullet pans.

just rework what you have.
add some atf,mmo,jpw,lanolin,white lith grease or a slight bit of vaseline to them.
sometimes just a remelt will work
