    Rooster lube over Alox

    I have been using Alox and 45/45/10 lube for years. The one thing I don't like about it is that the Alox lubed bullets seem to attract dust and lint. I just tried something a few days ago. After the Alox lube had dried I tumbled a batch in rooster lube. they came out shiny and smooth and dry to the touch. Have not shot any yet but was wondering if anybody has ever thought of this and if so how did it work for you. If it ever warms up enough to be pleasant at the range I will see if there is any noticeable difference one way or the other.

    I have dusted them with mica to prevent the stickieness.

    I have used it with success in my Accurate 36-127Q bullet. I limit this bullet to . 38 special velocities but it seems to not lead and is not sticky like LLA alone is noted to be. Be careful how much of the Rooster Jacket you use on top of the LLA because in my case with the 36-127Q bullet it seems to increase overall diameter to where seating in thick .38 Special brass sometimes does not pass my Wilson cartridge gauge.

    By letting the bullets dry nose down on aluminum foil, and using thinner Remington brass I have found a work around.The revolver group pic in my avatar is with the 36-127Q bullet with the LLA- Rooster lube combo.
