My father pan lubed. That's all I saw growing up, so that's what I knew about when I started casting years later when he gave me his old pot and molds. I don't think he ever reloaded as much as I do. I'm not dissing on him, he just tended to cast and reload by the dozens. And take a while to shoot them. I reload more in the low hundreds when I load. And take a couple of years to shoot them, then make more. So I'm still a low volume caster compared to many (or most) here.
When I started, being cheap, er, frugal, I went with the only lube method I knew about when I started casting. It worked, okay, but last Father's Day I cast about 700 rounds in various calibers. And pan-lubed them all. I finally made "kake-cutters" in appropriate sizes, but that really got tiresome with that many boolits.
A few months ago I bought "half a 5 gallon bucket" of lead from an older member of our club who was selling off all of his stuff (his cancer returned). Since he lived a fair distance away, and I was working long hours during tax season, I gave the money to a mutual friend who would be going past his place to visit his kids. When I went to his house a few days later to pick up the "half bucket" he suggested I bring a couple of buckets, to spread the weight out.
Turns out the older member's grandson loaded everything on the bench for me, not just a half bucket's worth. I ended up with over 220 pounds of lead when I was expecting about 50. While I like great deals, I won't take unfair advantage. I called him up and explained how much lead I ended up with and that I would definitely be paying him what it was worth. As we were talking he told me he had three well-used lubrisizers that he'd sell for a good price. Well, I mentioned that to my wife (she who insisted I was not going to take advantage of a dying old man), and since she has seen my struggles with pan lubing, she gave the okay to buy the lubrisizers.
So, all of that backstory to finally get to my question.
My pan lube formula works pretty well, from slower like .38 and .44 Specials to faster like 9mm and .40 S&W, on up to .30 Carbine and .30-30 Win out of rifles.
Is there any problem with melting and then pouring the pan lube mix into the lubrisizers?
Thanks in advance.
