Anyone here ever tried Lyman's Moly Lube for BP loads? Have read a few comments about it being very useful in this venue with the only complaint being it is a little sticky at some temps,(so, which lube isn't sticky at the right temp?).

What are your thoughts on this?

The Lyman Molly Lube is great with SMOKELESS LOADS.  It is horrible with Black Powder.  Stick with SPG or your own Home made Beeswax-crisco-etc mix.  You will find that Black Powder compatable lubricants will keep the fouling soft, the moly stuff will give you a tar like residue that will cancell any accuracy you were hoping to get.
Listen!  Do you hear that?  The roar of Cannons and the screams of the dying.  Ahh!  Music to my ears.

Did not use molylube specifically but did try 44 mag billy molycoated bullets hand lubed with 1:1:1/8 mix of bees wax mutton tallow beeswax olive oil.  Billy bullets have a large single lube groove.  With bear creek 45 bullets there is no lube groove so I used either a lube cookie or a homemad wonder wad.  Shot just fine
