Reviews & Ratings for Lee Liquid Alox Bullet Lube 4 Ounce 90177 — 5 reviews — Page 1

I have found that this is the best bullet lube to be had.

Since I started casting bullets I have been lubing them with a mixture of alox liquid lube and Johnsons paste wax. So far I used it on 30/30 cartridges, 45 Colt, 45 acp, 357 & 38, and 44 mag with no major signs of leading. Since I am trying to reload without spending more than necessary I feel that this is a very economical way to lube bullets.

After I resize cast lead bullets, I coat them with a Lee Liquid Alox Bullet Lubricant / mineral spirits solution prepared as follows:

Mix one 4 oz. bottle of Lee Liquid Alox Bullet Lubricant and 28 oz. of odorless mineral spirits in a 32 oz. bottle. Shake the solution vigorously. If the solution has ‘clumps’, warm the mix, then shake it vigorously again. Repeat this process until the clumps dissolve.

Pour the a few ounces of the solution into a pump spray bottle for use as needed.

Before each use, shake the solution vigorously. Dissolve clumps and settled ‘stuff’ as previously described.

Put a quantity of bullets in a container. Spray and hand tumble the bullets for a few seconds (or shake them gently in a sealed container), then spread them on a tray to dry. They should be ‘tack free’ at room temperature in about an hour, dry in about 4 hours, and ‘set’ in about 8 hours. To dry and set them faster, put the tray in a warm area where the air is moving.

(Drying tip: To dry the bullets and set the Alox even more quickly, pour the coated bullets into a ‘transfer’ tray. Let the bullets drain for a few minutes, then pour them onto a drying tray and place it about two feet away from a small space heater on “Low” heat.)

When the Alox is set, the bullets are ready for loading.

One 32 oz. bottle of the Lee Liquid Alox Bullet Lubricant solution will coat thousands of bullets.

The process is very quick and easy... with little mess. To clean up, simply wipe down the container and ...

I recently picked up an old Australian Martini Cadet in the original .310 cartridge, which uses a heeled bullet. I was able to find cast bullets specific of this caliber, but they were not lubed. Upon researching the best way to do it, Lee's Liquid Alox kept popping up, so I gave it a try. Thinned it slightly per instructions, put a little dab into a ziplock bag with the bullets, and worked them around until they were all covered. Laid them out on a piece of wax paper overnight, and they dried perfectly, and shot great out of the little "Kangaroo" rifle. No leading, easy and accurate. Not often you'll find a product to do the job so well for such a reasonable price. Highly recommended for the proper purpose.
