Lube for mold blocks
« on: March 14, 2006, 04:20:17 PM »
Afternoon all,
 I've got a question concerning lube on bullets. Can I use beeswax and oil on my molds and get the same effect of using bullet lube. The parts I'm talkin' about are the V ribs, Sprue bushing, and the locating cross pin. I appreciate everone's input.

I've always used wheel bearing grease on the Lee molds.

Uh - Are you looking for mold release agents or bullet Lube ?? 
Midway has a spray kinda graphite mold releace stuff to help get cast slugs out.  Don't use oil on a mold because it will wrinkle slugs until burned away.
Molds need a release agent  NOT OIL.
