Well to be honest, with what your going to use it on, I would simply go with some of the White Label Lubes 45/45/10 and be dome with it. I use a vacuum type storage bag to tumble my bullets in simply due to it being heavy enough to handle some heat from a hair drier and it has stood up to the mineral spirits which is the thinner in the lube. I dump in 50 or a hundred bullets, add in a pea or bean sized clump of the lube and heat them up with a hair drier till the lube melts and roll them all around till they are coated. Size and repeat, then load. There is usually plenty of lube left over to coat them after sizing as well, juet be sure to heat them up and it will recoat with plenty for what your looking to do. I have run this same formula lube up to 1700fps with a Lee 452-300 RF in my 454 with no issues what so ever, and shot hundreds of the same bullet your looking at through my ACP with nothing to show in my barrel except soot.
As for the other lubes, I mixed up some of the Felix, as well as a couple of others when I first got started. I'm not saying that they don't work or that they don't work well, but they are far more than what you actually need for the loads your looking to use. They are generally used for higher pressure or higher velocity loads like top end magnum handgun or 2000 + fps rifle loads.
As for a good load for that particular bullet, if you can find some Bullseye, lad between 3.5 and 4.5grs for a nice sweet shooting target load. If you start low and it won't function your slide just bump it up in .02 increments until it does. Most of your brass will/should fall right out beside your feet, and your groups should be one big ragged hole.
Hope this helps.
Oh just had a brain fart, Glen seemed to have had a fire in his shop there at White Label Lubes. If they don't have any of the 45/45/10 in stock, you might just pick up a bottle of the straight Lee Alox and cut it 50/50 with unscented mineral spirits. It will take longer to dry but will work just as good. Or if your the DIY type, you can pick up a can of Johnson's Paste Wax, some Alox, and some mineral spirits and makeup your own. IT's easy to do, you just need to be sure you have a container to put it in when done. That is the formula I am using myself. I picked up some small locking top SS containers at the local Dollar Store similar to these,
Locking Lid SS Container They work perfectly for storing a batch of the 45/45/10. After a couple of months it will thicken up however, but you just warm it up and add in a small amount of mineral spirits and your good to go again. I like mine about the consistency of thick cake icing, but thats just me. I use a Popsicle stick to dig it out and apply to the bag of bullets.
... I found one that alot of people were using (the felix I think it was called 2 pounds beeswax, 2 pounds paraffin, 2 pounds lithium grease) My question is this... Most people were using this for sticks to use in the Lubrisizer but I will be pan-lubbing mine... Is this a decent recipe for pan-lubbing or primarily for use in the lubrisizer...If not can you recommend a recipe for pan-lubbing...Thanks... WV
