I placed an order for a quart of 45:45:10 to White Label Lube Company at $15 per quart and $5.60 for shipping. The order was done by email and I regular mailed a check the same day for payment. The order arrived today, in 7 days. That is very prompt service for sending a check US snail mail and getting the package delivered Priority Mail.
The weather is cold here, 12 degrees F., so I placed it close to my radiator to get it to room temperature. The contents were stiff from the cold as arrived . At room temp the 45:45:10 has the same consistency as my home made batches, about like Hershey's syrup.
I pre-heated a small batch of 350 gr cast bullets for my .500 S&W rifle 5 minutes on warm in my kitchen oven. the bullets were just dumped into an aluminum brownie pan. Before the 5 minutes were up I had transferred some 45:45:10 to a small squirt bottle and warmed it open in the microwave 3 times for 30 seconds each time. The little squirt bottle holds 6 ounces and was warmed to about 150 degrees F.
I put the warmed bullets in a half of a plastic 1/2 gallon milk container then squirted a little 45:45:10 on them. I tilt the container 45 degrees and rotate for 1 minute. Immediately I noticed the commercial stuff is just as clear as my own stuff when applied by tumbling as I always do.
After the one minute of tumbling I poured the bullets into a clear plastic tray to dry.

Gary P.S. All my .500 S&W brass is loaded and my range is still closed, so, I have to continue waiting to shoot these... I am confident they will be fine.
