Title: Just an unsolicited plug for big lube bullets
Post by: Dalton Masterson on October 07, 2008, 10:44:17 PM
I gotta say that the big lube bullets are the best thing I have seen in a long time. We just finished our 2 day 10 stage+ sidematches out the wazoo state shootout. I was on the committee, so didnt have time to clean or do much of any maintenance between things, so my guns got neglected, as did my wifes. Sunday night when we got home, I at least unpacked them. I didnt get to them monday night, and here it is tuesday. I went out to wipe them down, and that is all I really had to do. The bores were almost slimy with lube, and the outer surfaces just took a quick wipe and were free of residue. A quick spray with ballistol and a bore snake, and they were done. I was fearing some major cleaning issues, with shooting them for 2 days and parking them another 2.
Thanks DD
BTW, I am lubing with a 50/50 mix of beeswax and crisco

Thanks for the flowers Dalton.

Yup, they do work as advertised, and then some.  My favorite is getting to be the little, short, acts like a round ball but ain't and shoots forever without cleaning EPP-UG.  I'm enjoying great savings in lead, less recoil and fantastic accuracy from it.

You're right about easy clean up and no need to fuss at the match.  I shot the Minnesota State SASS Championship, Gunsmoke '08, with all Big Lubeā„¢ ammo and didn't get round to cleaning till the following Wednesday.  Guns came clean just like you said.  I won wood too.  1st place - "Best Dressed Man". . . 8) ;D

P.S.  I didn't do as well in my category as FCGF.
