Hi all, I get asked this occasionally, so I weighed some bullets, then lubed them and weighed again.
Below is the results. I don't know if the formating will hold when it posts, but I'm sure you'll figure it out.

lar45 I think you are close on the 358's anyway I figured just by Redneck guestimation that I was getting around 1400 to a tube. But who or whom sits and counts while they are lubing?
You just keep selling that product of yours.

The 454 and 330 gr 45 cal are about right
I guessed about 550 per stick
