I have some powdered wax that I am going to try dusting LLA lubed bullets with to improve the handeling. This material is a 5 micron blend of carnauba wax and polyethylene. I have read about people using the carnauba on the forum but not the polyethylene. Any thoughts?

No problem, just make sure the barrel is not dry before the first round. ... felix

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I don't do use LLA that often but when I do, I coat them in JPW, which is mostly carnuba wax. Once it hardens there is no stickies to mess with. You still might get some gunk up in your seating die, but that is easy enough to clean out.
