    Not a speck of lead in the barrel, but who-boy! when it's time to clean the can.
    It is no wonder people have elevated lead levels, I would have never thought.
    most of the lead is coming from the priming compound. I doubt the boolit ever gets enough heat for enough time to vaporize..

    I think there's some extra lead in the air when you shoot cast bullets. When you cast up a batch of bullets, there is always a bit of lead dust that breaks off. It builds up in my tumble lubing pan and mixes with the lube, darkening it. When you fire the bullet, some of that dust is going to go in the air. Some of it might vaporize, but I expect there to be some solid lead particles small enough to suspend in the muzzle blast long enough to breathe.

    It's not just the color of the lube, either. While the tumble lube is liquid, I can see solid grit/particles in the corners of the groove when I haven't cleaned my tumble lube pan in awhile. They actually seem to help fill the TL grooves more fully.

    Shot my first bullets lubed with Carnuba Red today. After shooting with my previous lube I would normally need to scrub some lead from the first half inch or so of the barrel. Wasn't necessary with Carnuba Red!

    White Label Lube to heat.....

I've been thinking about trying 45-45-10 for some 45-230-TC boolits but what stick lube for around 1000fps for the others. Now that I'm retired, I might start casting for my 30/30 too. I don't have a heater but I can get one if I need to. Thanks
    I have been using a hair dryer sucessfully for years. Borrowed wifes originally and she upgraded to a newer model several years later. Rewarm sizer when it needs heat. In a heated house in winter this could be every 10 to 15 min. Doesn't take very long don't overheat. afish4570

    A simple light bulb will also work.

    The Blue Carnauba eliminated the leading problems I had with my 357 cast loads. It leaves traces in the bore, so I know it's in all 24 inches of the barrel. Flows effortlessly from the Lyman 45. I even use it with LAL and PC bullets. I tend to overlube and so far the products have been very successful for me. You can see the traces of the lube in my bore, here is a pic.

    I too have had great results with custom purple colored WLL Blue Carnauba in my 146 grain RNFP cast boolit in .357 Magnum brass with 6.9 grains of W572.

    I use nothing but white-label lubes. I have tried the different versions of his lubes and they all worked well, I tend to lean toward the softer lubes as I don't have to warm the sizer up as much to get a good flow.
    Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live or die on this day. Live or die on this day.

    WLL is great lubes. Love their BAC for pistols as well as their X-Lox 2700 Plus for my rifle loads. I don't use lube as much since I've started PCing my bullets but White Label Lubes is my suggestion for people when they ask about reputable companies.

    A few days ago I spoke with Glenn who fixed me up with 2 lbs. of carnauba blue for pan lubing .30 cal used in 300 Blk (230 grain MP 311-230). and 7.72X39 (Lee 312-155). I have been using PC with success but I'm never the guy to leave well enough alone. I have that suspicion that PC uniformity causes accuracy issues so that's a reason to give traditional lube a shot.

    I'm considering the purchase of a new MP mold: MP 314-410 HP, .314 dia. and 130 grain weight (solid nose).
