I plan lube some of my bullets and it's time to make some new lube. What is your favorite recipe for home made bullet lube? My plan lubed bullets are generally for rifle loads in the 1800 fps range.

Easy, cheap and effective, 4 parts by melted liquid volume of ATF to beeswax. Very good for high velocity loads.

For low velocity smokeless below 1700 fps or for BP cartridge substitute olive oil for the ATF.

Does it matter what grade of Olive oil?

There are several grades for sale at the grocery store.

I just use an inexpensive store brand light olive oil.

Thanks, Ed! I like easy, cheap, and effective. I have all the ingredients (all two!). I'll have to give it a try.
