I got sick of mixing my own, and got some from Lars. Very nice guy to deal with.
Figured I'd try BAC and 2500+. I filled the sizer up with BAC first.
It flows through the lube sizer well, even without a heater.
I found that it pulls out from the bullet grooves a bit too easily for my taste; on seating, a number of rounds pulled lube out from part or all of the bullet, even with a generous flare to the case. This seems to depend some on the style of bullet mold and lube groove. Loverlins are strangely the worst offender, but I had no problems with the conventional style 314299 or several pistol molds.
Shooting it, I got no leading. I was shooting 4198 in my .303 with a gas check, BAC, around 1900 fps.
Overall A-. Very good performer, it just isn't quite sticky enough for my tastes.
Can't wait to try the 2500+!
