OK, I'm a newb here.
Today I melted out some old dust and dirt filled beeswax crud out of the used Lube a matic I picked up. I'm getting geared up to cast and lube!
My casting will include .45 230 RN for the 1911 and some 158 SWC for the .357 but do be driven at .38 speeds with trail boss for starters. I'm definitely not loading hardcast hot magnum loads.
I also will be casting .30 cal 311291's for the Krag rifle and my 1903.
At this point I don't want to make lube, I just want to buy reliable lube to work in the lube a matic without a heat plate.
I was looking at White Label lubes as they seem quite well regarded here. As I only have one lube machine, is there a lube that will do both the mid range pistol and rifle with a long 30" barrel?
I was looking at the 2500+ and the BAC (a softer version or their Red Carnuba).
Please tell me what you honestly think. Am I off base trying to get a rifle lube and pistol lube rolled into one? Sure would make life convenient.
thanks in advance!
