I am getting ready to melt down 1-12 sticks of Lee 50:50, about a pound of 2138 (yes old real 2138) and equal beeswax to make it all a batch of 50:50.

I also have 2 sticks of Lyman "Moly Lube".

Should I go ahead and stick the Moly in the batch, or should I keep it out and stay with the plain simple ol 50:50 Lube?

It will be used in rifle and pistol loads.

throw it in won't hurt nothin.
remember to keep on stirring till cool.
a bit of lanolin won't hurt either, and you can stingy up the alox a bit too.

Depends on whether or not you want to stir until the loob cools? If you don't then the moly will settle to the bottom and if you wait until the loob starts to freeze and stir it makes an ungodly mess (don't ask me how I know).
