Any preference for lead bullet lube?

[scattershot]

Buying bullets commercially, I have encountered red, blue, and white waxy lube. Recently, I came across some black lube in a bunch of commercially cast bullets that appears to have a graphite component. Is one better than the other?

When I was casting my own back in the dark ages, Alox/beeswax was the way to go.

I haven't noticed any difference in leading, accuracy, etc., but I was wondering if anyone had a preference and why.

Thanks

White Label BAC for me.

Javalina and Lyman were my standards for years, but the BAC smokes less and is effective up to 2500fps+, so I can use it for rifle too.

Super low cost as well!

I usually get whatever I find on sale. I've had good results with Redding/Saeco , Lyman , Thompsons.

I use SPG for my black powder cartridges.

RIGHT ON!

Great minds are always on the same frequency, my friend!

DITTO!

I got some of the Carnuba to try but haven't got there yet. Lyman Orange works real well too just much more expensive.
White Label Lube Liquid Xlox works as well as Lee and is about 1/10th of the cost! I've used it in my own homemade lube too. Too time consuming for little to no benefits over purchased lubes.

SPG for black powder cartridges.

I have been using Saeco Gold for my cast handgun bullets.

Looking to try White Label Lube. Probably the Carnuba Red. Have been using the old Lyman Alox from yesteryear up. Have used some Lyman Super Moly. Great lubes. When I push 38 specials I get leading. Nothing like a little Kroi and a little brushings.

I use the Carnauba Red with good results. It gets a little sticky when stored in higher temps, so no problem here!

White Label Xlox 2500 since I also shoot cast bullets in my CZ 527 .223 Remington.

Ditto, White label BAC

White Label Carnuba Red is my preference, though the BAC is pretty good also and does not require a heater like the CR does.

Commode seal and canning wax mixed and melted in a 50/50 ratio. Melted and poured into sizer. When it solidifies lube away. Cost is about $2.50 a pint. I use it in everything from 32 s&w to 30/06-45/70. Works as well or better that all that high priced junk out there and is MUCH cheaper.

Alox for hard bullets used with smokeless powders. A beeswax and canola based lube I get from my shooting buddy for soft bullets and black powder.
