45LC bullet lube

[dlbarr]

I'm in a remote location away from services and found that I neglected to bring my typical lube for 45 revolver loads. I happen to have a bottle of LEE alox along but that is all. Since I have nothing else at hand, can this work on a Keith-style SWC bullet?

Yes. I tumble lube all my cast bullets. In fact, all my molds are lube groove design except 1 and I don't care for it. 45 colt is one of my favorites.

Yes it will work just fine......hope you got a plastic "samich" bag!:bigsmyl2:

Thanks gents! Yes I have plastic bags :)

It'll work fine.

Remember, less is more with the LLA.
You only need to use a small amount and if you can't see the coating that's about right.

I don’t think it will keep the black powder fouling soft. For just a few shots it’s better than no lube.

Find something greasy and shoot it (beaver, badger, ground hog,sheep, deer, etc) and problem solved.
