Milsurp After Hours

Any of you guys got any experience with LEE Liquid Alox??


I was planning to use it for my 10.4x38R bullets in my Vetterli rifle.


All ideas and suggestions on any other type of lubrication are most welcome.

Martin,





I have tried it and it does not give very good results for BP shooting. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":(">;





Best is to use a good BP lube on the bullet. There are various brands, but eventually you have to find one to your own liking.

Martin,





I am using a homemade mixture of 50 parts beeswax, 40 parts Crisco and 10 parts canola oil. It works great for me.

Thanks for all your info.


If I understood right, beeswax is a very important ingredient for a good bullet lube.





Just one question AJ.


Could you please explain to me what Crisco is and what canola oil is made off<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":">; ???


It may be a stupid question, but I just can't figure it out.

<p>

"Crisco" is the brand-name of a hydrogenated-oil shortening product popular in the US.





Canola is a US market-name for rapeseed oil, made from the seeds of <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Brassica napus</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.





Both ingredients serve to soften the beeswax so it is easier to apply to the bullet. Olive oil will do as well.

<p>

Thanks again Eric.

Matin,





You can substitute olive oil for the canola oil. Some guys use extra virgin olive oil, but I fail to see what virgins have to do with bullet lubing. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p">;

<p>

Well......eeeeehhhhh, maybe you need that virgin olive oil in brandnew barrels<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o">; , so the bullets will slide .........no, no way I'm gonna finish this virgin oil and bullet lubrication story.


I might get banned from this board.;

Anyways....so how's the weather over there, Martin? ;
