Thread: Lee Liquid Alox Unavailable. Any Simple Alternatives?

I don't want to buy (or store) a bullet lubing machine unless I really have to. I've lubricated a lot of bullets by hand using a home-made bees wax and Prolan oil mix and it goes well... but it isn't as quick and convenient as tumble lubing. My current favourite projectile has a bevel base and I understand that bevel bases don't work so well in a lubing machine.

Is anybody using an alternative tumble lube containing readily available ingredients?

Thanks in advance for your replies.... best wishes from Nelson.

If you Google "liquid alox substitute" you can research your eyes out for hours. First page will probably give you most what you need to know...
