ROOSTER Labs Black Powder Lube

[Buckey O'Neill]

Any Pards using this or used it in the past?
I've used ROOSTER and SPG in .45-75 W.C.F. loads - the ROOSTER worked better (for me) in hot weather, and the SPG worked better (for me) in cold weather. Go figure.

Buckey: Just a little maybe useless info. I usually sell  my Big Lube(tm) bullets with my own lube, but a customer requested I do his with SPG for a comparison, and as he was willing to foot the extra cost, I did them with SPG. The first thing I noticed is I didn't need my sizer heater turned up so high. So just for  fun when I got done I put 5 of my bullets and 5 of the SPG bullets on a cookie sheet in the oven with a  temp gauge in there  and turned up the heat. Turns out the SPG melted at about 20 deg. sooner than my bullet lube, about 150 versus 170 for mine. So maybe the Rooster melts later and works better in the hot weather whereas the SPG melts sooner so better in cold. Just a thought.
