When I use liquid alox I pour a 2L soda bottle-cap full of it and dip each bullet JUST to the last lkube groove and let dry on wax paper ..I dont like coating the no=bearing surfaces of the bukllet. I dust the dried bullets next day with motor mica (powdered mica dust used by manufatuurers for motor assembly)
It IS that good. I make my own lubes and Alox 2138 for the NRA Alox-beeswax formula is not longer available.
You might try a version of SAECO GREEN bullet lube whose recipe I got from one of their field reps. on another cast bullet group . It is a luber-sizer lube, a bit hard, and a heater (or gooseneck lamp) might be needed but it works excellently with allmy rifler and pistol bullets. I shifted away from ALOX-based lubes because of smoke complaints.
SAECO GREEN
1 # canning paraffin wax
1/2 bottle STP
1 # beeswax
melt all in double boiler and mould in 1" PVC tubing capped at bottom with a center thru-screw into a 1/4" dowel rod
