I have seen on some YouTube videos something called ROOSTER JACKET. Anyone know who sells this and do you have a web address for it.

I have an unused bottle. Any reviews on it?

I've used it with my 45-70 rounds. Works very well. Easier than paper patching.

To me it is similar to floor wax that a buddy used for lubing wadcutters when he was doing commercial reloading!

Same material used for lubing .22 Rim Fire lead bullets. Very similar to Johnson Glo-Coat commercial floor wax. Great for .38 wadcutter and standard velocity 158 lead and .45 ACP wadcutter not over 800 fps or for plain-based rifle small game and gallery loads not exceeding 1200 fps.

I use it. I think I like lla better..but it is interesting. I put my bullets in a small hand colander that's setting in a funnel. and just pour threw the bullets from one bottle to another..then dump on wax paper. 2 coats.
I only started using it last year vs lla for a looong time. I've only used it on low pressure low fps stuff.

Midway used to sell it. I have a partial bottle. I have used it on tumble lube boolits (45-185-O) in .45 acp ( I am longer loading them due to my drawdown in that caliber) and still actively with tumble lube .38 Special boolits (accurate custom mold 26-127-Q).


My procedure is : I cast the boolits, coat in LLA, let them dry, push thru sizer die, very light coat of LLA, when the second LLA coat dries then I give a light coat of Rooster Jacket. I always make sure to have the rooster jacket boolits dry standing on their bases in an aluminum foil coated former baking tray. The rooster coated boolits are not tacky at this point but still retain all of the positive LLA lube properties. I also think the rooster coated boolits smoke less than just LLA coated boolits alone. In the .38 and .45 the bore after shooting these combo of lubed bullets are impressively free of leading and deposits.

I have used it on .45 ACP and .38 loads for USPSA and ICORE. It isn’t much of a lube but it worked in those applications. It failed in .357 Mag and .30/30 at even moderate speeds. I liked that it dried clean and dry to handle. It didn’t smoke much either. I no longer use it as LLA/JPW is superior in every respect.
