I got some and lubed some of my remaining Missouri bullets 180 gr with it. The leading was reduced greatly. Pleasant surprize. Just thought i'd put that out there. I will be casting soon, but this makes me happy.
God Bless!

I find that when I buy commercial bullets that lead, a very light coat of LLA solves the problem.
I have been using LLA and as-cast bullets since Lee brought out LLA. Light coating (not amber/brown) is all I need.

yeah..it's hard to tell the coating is there without putting an uncoated one next to it.
God Bless!

I've found many of the commercially cast bullets lead barrels because they are undersze, ie.; I have 5, .44 Magnums and two have a groove diameter of .430", one at .431", one at .432" and only one has a groove diameter of .429". Most commercial casters offer only .429" or .430" (if you research you can find a couple casters that make larger) which is guarnteed to lead the barrels in my guns. Plus they usually have some kind of crayon for lube, and small bullets + poor lube = lots of barrel leading. Alox helps a lot to eliminate leading with these problems...
