45-45-10-Reclues lube mix

[Willyp]

I wonder how this would work on 50 cal REAL bullets from Lee molds? Any one try it?

No, I never tried Recluse's formula, but Emmert's Lube will work and is easy to make too. Here is our own Dale53's recipe for it:

"I use Emmert's home mix with a slight change:
50% pure beeswax, 40% Crisco (the original solid shortning that looks like lard), 5% Canola Oil, and 5% Anhydrous Lanolin all by melted volume. This is a very effective black powder lube and a very effective schuetzen smokeless lube."

As I see it,,,,it can't hurt to try.
I haven't had the chance to cast any yet, but while TL'ing a test batch .375's, I thought I would dip some wads and patches to try here shortly.
I really can't see why it won't work, but testing will tell.
