Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Now that Springfield Slim has retired, is anybody casting Big Lube Bullets for sale?

SHOOTIN FOX Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I need to know which mold/bullet style is in demand. I presume SPG is the requested lube. send me some details and I will look into it. See yall at EOT. Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I prefer SPG Tropic for summer use. It gets hot in the summer where I shoot. That's what I lube with. (I cast and lube my own and would not be a customer.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas McBoomboom Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hey Dawg, I am all set up to do all the casting and lubing for most of the commonly used big lube projectiles (44-40, 38-40 DD, 32-20, 38 Slim, 38 Snakebite, 45 PRS, and others to be added as demand requires). I'm currently working on jumping through all the ridiculous legal hoops necessary to sell lead bullets, and hope to be able to offer Big Lube bullets for sale. Lube will be SPG as I work through my existing supply, but I have Springfield Slim's lube recipe, and will be transitioning to that quickly. Keep your eyes peeled for Dark Side Lead Co.

Palmetto Traveller Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 DMP this is good to hear. I've been shooting subs but placed an order for the real thing yesterday and was wondering where the bullets would come from. Hopefully you'll be casting a 38 cal 125 g.

Accurate molds and NOE (Night Owl Enterprises) both have some pistol molds with large lube grooves. And Tom at Accurate will make a mold custom. If you wanted to measure any given Big Lube mold in all the critical points, he would cut from your engineering drawing. Does excellent molds. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current hold up is all the bribery at all levels of government to get my ffl (you wouldn't think you need an ffl to sell chunks of lead, but the robber barons want their share of everyone's hard earned dollar), which takes zoning variances, special hearings, etc etc, I'm going to be several grand into this just in government fees.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Dawg, have you tried Desperado Cowboy bullets? I used them for black powder and also for smokeless. Reasonable prices and pretty quick shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASS# 23321 Canelo Kid Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 If you run a Master Caster, Magma makes the mold. I know a caster in the UK that has them from Magma. He brings me a few every year. I wouldn't want to pay the freight from there. Good luck getting much from Magma right now. I think all they're making right now are molds, but you'd have to call. I don't know if they can be used as hand-held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 This probably does not interest many of you "big Lube" bullet shooters as most are probably not 38 special enthusiasts. But, I will post as I have thought interesting when hearing the statement many, many years ago. Wally who many of you knew, and owned Black Dawge Cartridge Company shared with me when I got started in black that the 145 gr. LRNFP was the optimum bullet for 38 special with black. I shot it with Goex (then Cowboy Goex) for many years. When Wally shut down around 2006, I bought much of his equipment and supplies. However my purchase excluded bullet making machines, SPG luber, and molds, that went to Powder Inc in AR. Guessing the demand for that bullet and its SPG lube was not a profitable project for Jerry, although he continued to keep me in supply of that particular bullet for a long time, quality became an issue (quality being just to much lube on bullet that it consistently gummed-up seater far to quickly). I liked the 1050 BD set-up dropping powder then filler but with the bullet problem I eventually changed course to sub and coated bullets. I found several weights in coated bullets worked well, and accurately (105, 125, 135, & 147). Anyway, I thought the optimum statement was interesting and still do not doubt it for its implication....and, Wally was a master for many of us on the Goex team. let's make smoke.

Tucker McNeely Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I’m interested in .457 round ball if your making those. Crown bullet is out of business also. Hunters Supply is the next one I’ve found. I may have to start making my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog McGee Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Thanks Dallas, Count me in on the 38-40 (38WCF) Big Lube . The Best bullet for REAL Black Powder. It's the Flame, Boom, and Smoke for me. NO BP subs for me. Thanks, Mad Dog McGee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I'm admittedly biased. I have my favorite Big Lube bullet. It was the original one. My local guy, whom I gave the Magma Cherry to was the only guy that I know who was producing large commercial quanities of the Snakebite Grease Wagon bullets. Most producers were using the 6 cavity hand molds. I don't know who ended up with the Cherry. Not sure if there is still a big calling for such a bullet.

Possum Skinner, SASS#60697 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 That’s my favorite, too, Snakebite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 FWIW, the MAV Dutchman 44 bullet was the best seller by far. The PRS 45 was second, and the Snakebite 38 and the J/P 45 were always battling it out for 3rd and 4th. The other 12 BP bullets I did were probably about 20% of sales, combined. So Dallas has molds for the top 80%, plus a couple others that I know of. I love my Accurate molds, but Tom will not cut a mold with lube grooves as deep as the LEE style. If anybody REALLY wanted a duplicate of the original Big Lubes, you might be able to get them from LEE Precision, as group buys from them was where most of them came from before Dick Dastardly at biglube.com started offering them, and LEE actually made most of those.
