White Label 50/50 beeswax lube

[ddeaton]

From my previous posts I have just started casting and sizing. All new to me and learning as I go. I dont like the 50/50 because it stays soft and seems to be a mess when reloading and when loading the firearm. Should I think about going to another harder lube just for these reasons? I have a Magma with a heater and air, so I assume this will make things a littler easier.
Thanks, Danny

The Larsen White label lube has a 50/50 that is stiffer than the Javelina brand 50/50.
The 2500 is a little stiffer yet. I am using the B.A.C. lube and am VERY pleased with the results.
It is a litytle sticky, but not so loose as to be oozy.

I don't use a hard lube but a friend does. He swears by the Carnauba Red.
Stumbled onto this stuff at another website. When I saw it right here at the Cast Boolit forum,
I knew it was worth a try. Price is right to boot

glen also makes a mix of his red and 50/50 which i highly recommend.
i mix a bit of jakes purple ceresin with half 50/50 half carnuba red and it makes a harder lube.
which flows right through the star with a tad of heat.

I think I will order a couple sticks of BAC and 2500 and see which one I like. Whats the best way to clean out the old lube from a Star?

Don't know about a Star Lube machine. I put the Lyman 450 in a oven set at about140-150 on a cookie sheet. Works best when the bride isn't home and you clean the cookie sheet REAL good.

I am currently using the B.A.C. You will like both

I use the 50/50 pan lubing and I like it. Don't smell half bad either

I wouldn't fet over cleaning it out. Just drop in another stick and let her run.

If you have to. You can remove the size die and just pump it through.

Which one of the white lube products would be good for pan lubbing?

I need to get some of the BPCR, but see they are out of it.

I am a big fan of the Carnauba red in my higher velocity rifle applications and any bullets that I sell to others to make it through the shipping. I use BAC for most of my pistol bullets that I load immediately after sizing. Quality stuff and price cant be beat. My wife and I also use the Larson's EZ products for our hands and feet.

opentop,
I pan lube exclusively for the large calibers. Have found Felix + White Label BAC at about 75% Felix to 25% BAC to work well. Just melt some together, let cool and see what seems to be right for pan lubing. The hardness/softness can then be adjusted by adding a little beeswax for a little harder or by adding olive oil or canola oil to final mix for a little softer.
