Anyone know if this is already a known lubing technique? I wantet to lube with alox,but didn't want to wait for the alox + min spirits to air dry.I covered a cheap metal serving plate with alum foil,set ontop of the elec hotplate ,and put about 100 boolits on it.Set the hot plate on med/low,the boolits smoked for about 20 minutes,then the smoking stopped.The alox was dry to the touch,not sticky.Let them cool,loaded them and went shooting.The performance was as good as air drying them overnight.Has this method been done before,or have I invented something?
never heard that one.I just set them out on the back porch under the ceiling fan for about two hours and they are dry.

I get them real hot with a hair dryer before lubing them.
then heat them again after lubing.
then dump them on a cookie sheet in front of a fan, by the time they are cool they are good nuff to shoot.
it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.the more i find out about shootin boolits, the more it contradicts everything i ever learned about shooting jaxketed.
Heat never seemed to make a lot of difference for drying bullets for me, but air circulating around the bullets does..You may not post new threadsYou may not post repliesYou may not post attachmentsYou may not edit your postsForum Rules
