WHAT?

Alox is like Hoppes, I use it as aftershave.

It doesn't take 10,000 for me. I get an almost instant migraine headache when I smell it.

I have a serious issue with alox.
My grand daughter about 4 years ago she exposed everyone in the family to a particularly virulent case of projectile flu. Not having a .462 die for my lube sizer I was busy smearing alox on some bullets from a new mold. I had alox stink all over me when the flu hit. To this day when I smell alox I get flash backs to the near lethal heaves. You have to love shooting to push on through the queasiness.

You'll be glad you made the move, I did 25yrs ago. Alox may work for some, but I find it messy & I like having my bullets all the same dia for better results loading mixed brass.

I tried the tumble lubing and it worked. I prefer to use a lubesizer and Ben's Red, even on tumble lube design boolits.

alox always smelled like a mechanics garage.
