I've been using LLA as a lube for my 45 acp loads, which worked ok. I don't like the mess so I started pan lubing, which worked perfectly the first time I did it. Now, the lube just will not stick in the grooves. Do you guys find it sticks better when when the lube is still a little warm and soft, or nice and firm? I'm punching the boolits out with my fingers, as my kake kutter sucks and isn't worth using whatsoever. The lube is a beeswax, petroleum jelly, and paraffin mix which gives me absolutely zero lead and little to no smoke when fired.
