I hear alot of complaints about bulk pistol bullet lube being to hard, and therefore not effective.

So.....

Any recommendations for a Commercial Lube 2"X6" sticks, that can be used on bulk packed pistol bullets- ie. 500 to a loose packed box. Using Magma bullet molds.
Looking for something that can survive the "loose packing" and not cross contaminate other bullets in the box (to soft a lube) or be knocked out of the lube ring.
Already have, Magma, Rooster Red, Carnauba Red, Thompson Blue & Red Angel on the way, to try.

I see one of Lar's lubes in there. You need to try some of his other hard lubes. He makes very good lube.

i lube a ton and throw them in a box and just let them roll around all the time, if the red isn't enough for you try his 50-50 it should be a bit dryer.
a little travel from boolit to boolit is fine for the return it gives in tthe bbl.
i don't have any issues with it gumming up my seater dies either.
the red likes a bit less heat and more pressure in the stars also.
about 2/3 rds the heat and about 65 on the pressure. as magma's lube.

Lar's Carnuba Red is hard to beat for performance and price. It meets all your needs.

Might have to get some of this new lube. For the record I have his, BAC, 2500, and Carnauba Red but only the Red seems hard enough and not so sticky as to cause problems with loose packed pistol bullets. Can't have a customer open a box and find a cross contaminated, gooey, sticky unattractive product. I also would like to avoid the rock hard lubes that customers complain about.

I've used the BAC & Carnuba & prefer the Carnuba, a bit less tacky. I wopuld think it would be a great commercial bullet lube.
