Who shoots Lar45s lube?

[45r]

I use 2500 plus now.I use to use CR.They are both very good but 2500 does not need heat.Not much smoke.Good lube.

siwel, are you using LBT Blue, or Blue Soft?
I use LBT Blue Soft in all my loads and very seldom get any smoke. If I push the 30-06 to over 2,400 fps I do get a little smoke, but not bad.
If going with LARs lubes doesn't cure the smoke problem you could change powders. I shoot alot of pistol and revolver loads with Unique, Blue Dot, and LiL'Gun and have almost no smoke at all.

I'm using the Blue.

I just got a couple sticks of CR and loaded up some .45ACP. It seems to smoke as much as the Blue does with Tightgroup. I'll be looking for some Clays now to see if I can get rid of the smoke.

Thanks for the input, guys!

I'm using BAC for rifles and the brown one (I don't recall the name now) for pistols. But I shoot outdoor.

OK, i bought some WST and Clays. I loaded up some rounds using Carnauba Red and LBT Blue with WST and Clays. All of the four combinations seemed to smoke just as much as the next. I shot some jacketed with Clays and the smoke was considerably less.

I'm assuming it's not lead smoke since I don't have any leadding in the barrel to speak of. The Clays doesn't smoke much with the jacketed, which leaves the lube as suspect. I was hoping the CR was the answer.

What am I missing?

I use BAC for rifle, and those pistol boolits that are not lubed with alox.

You might double-check your boolit size? You mentioned you were getting some leading, and that is usually from too-small boolits. Reason I mention it, I was getting a lot of smoke from the .303 until I beagled the mould and got bigger boolits. Nothing was changed in my loading 'recipe', but the smoke went away and accuracy improved dramatically. Thanks, Beagle!

I load The CR and Clays in 45 and 38spl and have very little smoke. Something is amiss here Watson.

[runfiverun]

humidity is amiss.
it will cause lube to smoke for one guy and not another.
except lla, it smokes while still in the package.
