    Parallel Thread on 45 Colt

    Markbo et al--

    See also the contemporaneous thread on this caliber that is under way in this section.
    I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

    Thanks for that... I read that and will again. More and more new information for me. This is just not going to be as easy as I thought it would be, that's all!

    I have a question about lubing... since I am still using commercial cast bullets for the time being, should I remove the hard wax lube before applying alox? If so, how?

    When alox'ing bullets, can I put them in a tumbler and add alox or will that deform/dent/harm the bullets? Previously I just put a couple handfulls in a ziplock bag and added about a toothbrush size squeeze of alox, but it seemed difficult to get them all coated exactly the same.

    C.E. Harris has suggested cutting the Lee Liquid Alox 50/50 with mineraly spirits and THEN apply. That should solve your problem.

    FWIW
