Mad Dog McGee Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Fellow Soot Lords, I've been using Pearl Lube with great success , but I'd like to make something that's not as messy. As I live in S. FL. it gets hot down here and the lube flows too easy . Anyone got any hot temp recipes that they would like to share ? I'll be using my Lyman Lubesizer. Thanks in advance! MDM Black Powder ALL the WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I. M. Crossdraw, SASS# 8321 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 MDM, I don't lube my bullets, but I soak my wool wads in a 50/50 beeswax and Crisco (pure vegetable). I live in Northeast Ohio so it does not get too hot and humid around here compare to Southern Florida. Although at times during a shoot that I left out my ammo case full of BP (the real BP) ammo under the sun and no problem going bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Buy some DGL and spend your time shoot'n. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/689293/dgl-bullet-lube-12-oz-tub Best I've used for pan lubing. LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 9 parts beeswax, 6 parts microcrystalline wax, 3 parts synthetic 2 stroke oil. I just lubed some bullets and it was 90 in the shop and it worked fine, no mess. NASA is good too. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Henry Quick Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Beeswax and Ballistol makes a good, but stinky mix. Start at 50-50 and then adjust to fit your temperature conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolina Lead Foot Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have been using 50/50 of bees wax and crisco for years. Lubes great and is easy to make. It gets to the high 90s around here (Raleigh, NC) and never had a problem. Lead Foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box Herder, SASS 73857 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Plus one again for Crisco and bees wax as a lube for hot & dry. I have been adding a little anhydrous lanoline lately for our hot dry weather out here and it seems to hold better in my 44 WCF Big Lube bullets. & real black.

Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have switched to something about 50% beeswax, 40% crisco, 10% canola oil. I am getting better results getting them out of the cake (pan lubing). And I have recently switched to local beeswax. I am getting better results as far as keeing fouling wet with this setup that I had with using commercially available beeswax. Don't know how/if they are processing it or mixing in with it, but I really like good, 100%, local beeswax better than that other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel-eye Steve SASS #40674 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 1Pt beeswax, 1pt neat foot's oil, 1pt Murphys oil soap. Add the Murphys oil soap last. This is the old Mathews lube formula. I often add some graphite to the mix. Works very well in warm temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
