However, being of Scottish descent, every time I drop a boolit from a mould or run one thru a sizing die, my mind is unconsciously calculating the cost down to the last erg of energy I expend. My time being the most expensive constituent of the process. Consequently, poring thru 100's of pages of boolit lube recipes does not qualify as time well spent. Which brings me to the point of my current rant. Can someone direct me to a homemade boolit lube that works well on boolits of appropriate hardness from 35 to 45 caliber not exceeding 1250 FPS using 2400, Unique, Bullseye, Hi-Skor 700X, HP-38, TiteGroup, and W231. Something that does not require a PHD in Nuclear Psychology with a minor in Chinese geometry? Oh yeah, and it can't cost as much as the proposed new healthcare system. I will be eternally grateful and sing your praises unto my dying breath.
