I use it because it works and has for some time now.
I've tried many of the commercial Alox base lubes and was not happy with them. In the late 1970's I bought a gallon of Alox 2138F and...

I learned that less is better and anytime you can do away with wads, kapok or whatever the better. I will say that with 4759 and a softer alloy bullet the coarse grains of 4759 have a way of...
