I have been using LLA formulas and Ranch Dog bullets with good success. A friend of mine just sent me 25 cast bullets from a new mold design to try out in my rifles. I have threatened to begin pan lubing, but, now it is time. I have read a bunch of the lube recipes here and they range from straight forward (Thanks Mr Harris) to exotic. I have one small stick of commercial NRA formula (bees wax and Alox) but this is not enough for a “pan". I have scrounged around and found the following items:
Parafin (gulf wax that I use for fluxing my alloys.
Johnson Paste wax
vasoline
2 cycle motor oil
LLA (i have a bunch)
4 ounce stick of NRA formula commercial bullet lube.
Can I make a pan lube suitable for evaluating some really good bullets or should I hold off until I can get some better ingrediants.
If I pick up a quart of ATF, what type should I get (i dont mean brand, I mean type. They seem to have several generations of chemical additives and formulations)
Thanks in advance. rc
