WTB Lubrisizer for sale

[Tuolumne Lawman]

I have both BAC 350/.512 and HRHW/DWM modified Lee 350 molds.  I have been using a LEE .512 sizing die and either Lee alox with 777, or hand smearing my beeswax/crisco mix before sizing for BP.

There has got to be a better way.  I tried pan lubing with the beeswax/crisco lube before sizing, but it was messy.  Anyone have a lubrizier that lubes and sizes that they want to part with cheap?  I'd like to shoot BP more, but lubing stops me.

Is a lubrisizer fairly easy?  I have never used one.

Hi TL,

Are you shooting a Taylor's 56-50?  Won't BP fould up your Spencer...I thought that new firearms (like Taylor's Spencer) were made so tight internally that using BP would just clog up everything.  At least, this is true of my S&W 2000 Schofields.  If you use BP in them they will foul up very quickly making them almost unshootable.

I have shot BP in the Spencer carbine, and it shoots great.  I did 50 rounds without it sticking.  I suppose annealing the case mouths would decrease what blow-by there was.

Two Flints,

I have been shooting real BP in the Taylor's 56-50 Spencer carbine now for over two years without any fouling problems.  I recently ran a 100 round test to see if it would go that far without cleaning or excessive fouling.  At 100 rounds it was ready for more but I had run out of ammo at that point.

It appears to me that the carbine (and probably the full length rifle also) in 56-50 will get you through just about any range session that may want to use it for.

I am using a variety of cases; several different lots of Starline 56-50 cases and cases formed from Winchester 348 Winchester brass.  None of these cases have ever been annealed and I do not get any excessive blow by that fouls the action.

Being that this action cams the loaded round all the way into the chamber, minor fouling build up seems to have little or no effect on the operation of of the gun.

If you need any additional info just let me know.

Here's the EASY WAY to pan lube.  Go buy a round non-stick cake pan, say a foot across. Fill the pan with unlubed bullets 1/4 - 1/2 in. apart. Melt your favorite BP lube and then slowly pour into the pan until the level is just above the top goove. Let cool until the ENTIRE lube "cake" can be removed by delicately turning the pan over. You can expedite this with a little time in the freezer. Lay the lube "cake" (with the bullets in the cake) on a sheet of wax paper on the kitchen counter and then slowly press the bullets out (press on the nose) as you are dangling that portion of the "cake" over the counter edge and catch the freshly pressed out & lubed bullet. It's that easy. I don't size mine as they chamber perfectly. Clear?

Thanks Kid,

I may try that instead of buying more equipment.  My lube mixture sets pretty hard.  I could size after if I wanted to.  Ebay has several Lubrisizerss, and I bid on one, but I think it will go high.

TL,

In the "Darksider's Den" forum on page 18 there is a topic "Pan Lubin' Again".  It has a link to probably the best pan lubing procedure that I have ever seen.  It is complete with photos and detailed instructions.  Check it out.
