I have used this for many years on bullets for .45-70, .45-90, .45 Sharps Express, as well as relatively high velocity loads (2100FPS+) in the .30 calibers.

The lithium grease cartridge I bought in about 1985 is still in use today. Cost was about $3.00.
Wouldn't there be a potential problem with powder contamination over time from the grease, especially during and after hot weather?
