Maybe those using this lube in rifles can educate me?

I've never explored the upper limit, but as slippery as Ben's Red is I'll bet it's over 2500 fps. Stick around , Ben might chime in. Or send him a PM. What are you wanting to do with the lube?

I know people who have shot Ben's Red at 2,500 fps.
Barrel clean and accurate.

Thanks Ben!
Not wanting to get crazy but am wanting to play around above 2000fps, say 2300-2400. That will be new territory for me with cast and thinking of a different lube.
Why order when you can mix up some lube?

Just read the original instructions and follow those.
A lot of stirring, low heat, and patience.
You'll end up a happy camper.

I've pushed Ben's liquid lube, 2 coats, past 2100, no problem. It is simple to make, 50/50 Liquid floor wax and Lee LLA. Pour in a bottle and shake.
