Just getting started in casting as you might already know from some of my post. I am going to start casting for the 357 maximum first to get it going. What would be a good lube to get to use with the lyman 45 and these pistol loads. I will also later be casting for the 30-30, 308, and the 35 Rem.

Buy the BAC lube - works well without heat and should cover most any chore you ask of it. If you just like tinkering, make felix lube. (BAC is probably cheaper by the time all is said and done.)


P.S. I am not associated with lsstuff, just one of many satisfied customers.

you cant beat the white lable stuff for both quality and price. Suggest you try all of the different types. I buy it 10 sticks at a time, and have found none better.

stringstretcher What the others are telling you. White Label makes great stuff you can't go wrong.

Me too! I like the Carnauba Red.....Glenn makes some good ( and inexpensive) stuff.

I use Lee Liquis Alox. I have a lifetime supply from when Wilgen did a group buy a couple of years ago. I have done some experimenting with other tumble lubes for handgun bullets, but for rifle bullets from .22-8mm it's all I need. Push-through sizers are much less expensive too.
