Hey guys.
Been a LONGGGGG time.
Just started swaging copper jackets. I'm using lanolin/castor oil mix like most here. Tried to read a million posts with no actual answer provided.
Has anyone -ACTUALLY- tried just using cheap, simple, high pressure lithium axle grease for the same process?
Any reason why it wont work? Pros/cons.
I'm not having dramas with the lanolin at all. Just wondering if maybe it would simply work better and everyone is just stuck on a round about of "I did this, cause my grand-dad did this, as did his sisters brothers cousin, and it always worked fine for me."
And then it just never got changed... I'd draw a likeness to the 6.5 Creedmoor crowd... (trolling :kidding: )
Thanks team.
;)
