    Mostly use Hornady but also this one time at band camp...

    Made up some 50/50 Beeswax Vaseline when I was mucking around with cast bullets and paper patching. Added a bit of the red carnauba wax off some expensive cheese and if you think that stuff makes your car shiny, it makes your barrel like a mirror.

    Patroleum products are supposed to root your powder so probably shouldn't use Vaseline.

    That is why you run your cases thru your SSM before you load to clean off your lube. Try Targex's recipe. It is a real winner.Rate it highly.
