Lube question

[convert69]

Looking at getting a Mr Bullet bullet feeder for my Dillon 650. Anyone now whats a good lube to use that won't mess up the collator?

[runfiverun]

just about any type of wax will come off in the feeder or the drop tube.
I would suggest powder coating for the better results.

I was hoping someone else would give you better news.

Bullet feeders and cast bullets generally don't mix well. PC or Hi-Tek would be your best bet, and even then some folks have trouble just because we generally size cast a bit larger than jackets.

Once you lube them with what ever lube you like. A thin coat of BLL, Ben's Liquid Lube, will give them a hard protective shell. This might be hard enough to work with your boolit feeder.

That broke my hart, I have been dreaming of a progressive , I just finished loading some 45s single stage.

i run regular ol lube through my 550's without a problem.
you just gotta get the boolit in the case and keep the lube in the grooves.

a bullet feeder is a different animal altogether, you could run a high micro-wax with carnuba type lube and be okay for quite a while.
but you'd need to clean something somewhere along the line.

I think that tumbling lubed boolits in mica could make for using a bullet feeder easier and less maintenance. I have the mica, just haven't tried it myself yet in my cheap guy bullet feeder setup I have on the 650
