Pan lube with FWFL

[kelbro]

Is FWFL pan lube friendly?

[fryboy]

short answer ? yes
honest answer ? yes but .... ( you knew that was coming didnt you ? lolz ) it honestly depends upon how thick or thin you make it and/or prefer it , i used the larger size of beeswax so it came out a lil harder than some folks which was what i wanted anyways ( the thought is that the WxDxH = 7 to 8 oz. i used the 8 oz as it helped keep the quantities easier to multiply and measure ) i also made a single batch first to try it and adjusted accordingly ,

I doubled the recipe and used 1lb of bees wax instead of the 14oz called for. I also added some Carnuba, just a little.

I pan lube with mine just fine. Even the little 22 cal Bator boolits work fine with pan lubing using it.

dang amigo i can barely grab them lil 22 cal.'s let alone attempt to pan lube them , i knew when i bought a 22 mold ( 225 415 ) that it was going to offer challenges to my fat fingers so - well done !! i'm in the middle of trying both FWFL and FWWFL ( the last is the carnuba added version )
pan lubing does offer one advantage - it's much easier to adjust for temperature swings

lol, yea, I do 100 at a time, push them out of the solid lube, then put more in the holes, first time putting them in the empty pan it was...tricky to say the least, more than one foul word was uttered, and had to get the tweezers. :holysheep

Update: Worked great with my first batch of FWFL. I also used 8oz of beeswax.

I got anal about it and researched the weight of beeswax, and calcualted 6.8 oz for the recipe, and it's been working great for me. It is fairly soft, and easy to squeeze into lube grooves.

I have a foil lined pyrex bowl. After the first pour I just fill up the holes with new bullets. Set it on the hotplate. Wait for it to melt. Take it off and let it cool. Remove the cake and push the bullets out. Sure beats hand applying that lube. It's some sticky stuff!
