Cast lead bullets- best homemade lube in uk

[andrew375]

I'm currently working with briwax with some Lee tumble lube bullets. Just a nob of the briwax in a tin or plastic bag, swirl in a hundred or so bullets then tip out to dry. The lube i usually use is soap based, so has to be used through a lubresizer. A good general purpose lube is a simple mix of lithium grease and beeswax. For pan lubing black powder bullets I use a mix of vaseline and beeswax that apparently works well with high pressure smokeless loads.

As already pointed out, leading is rarely a lubricant issue but is due to bullets being under size or the wrong hardness.

I did try a mixture based on red rubber lube. It was great but then I read the safety sheet for this grease and thought it was a bad idea to breathe it in.

Thanks for info everyone.
Yes alox looks simple solution, but I like shiny bullets with a proper lube band .
Interesting about the red lube toxicity, I have also been told alox is not to be used indoors, I think its also made from oxidised grease?
My bullets are casting out at .364 from Lee dies, I have been sizing to 358 with the lee sizing die.
I may purchase a lyman4500 in the future as also planning to produce wadcutters for taurus revolver.
