Hi Folks,
Just spent a couple of hours casting bullets for my Ruger Old Army. Always bought balls for it before, and this is the first time I have done any casting. After a couple of mis-shapes I got into it. Now have about a hundred good bullets.
Now then ... a question.
I have bought some XLOX Boolit Lube, to lube the bullets. Can anyone tell me how to use this stuff ? It's in a plastic bottle but seems to be pretty solid and won't pour out. What do I have to do with it to lub my bullets ?
Thanks, sign92
Ian

Re: How To Use XLOX
If its the the Lee Liquid Alox you mean, stand it in hot water until runny, put your boolits in a old butter tub with a couple of drops of alox and tumble them till evenly coated. A little goes a long way.

Re: How To Use XLOX
No its Xlox he means.
Xlox is the same stuff but a lot cheaper than the Lee, you should know Joe as I sell the blinking stuff! :lol:
As Joe says warm it up a bit first then add a few drops to your boolits then add the same amount of white spirit, tumble your boolits and they should come out with a light golden hue to them.
With Xlox less is more.

Re: How To Use XLOX
Thanks fellas.
Got it .... Dromia is pukkabundhooks.
Yes it was from you I got the stuff via my chum Mike who picks up from you, along with a load of other stuff. Thanks for the good service. sign92
Another order coming via Mike soon.
That's great. I'll work it as you say. Looking forward to trying these conicals instead of balls in the Ruger Old Army.
Now to cast some Minié bullets for the muzzle loading rifle.
