Smokey Cast Bullet Loads

With the coming tax crisis in Kali, I am once again considering casting. I am convinced that cast bullets are the most accurate, but I am shooting indoors and the lube smoke is a bit much. Currently I shoot plated West Coast Bullets in .357, 10mm and .44. Anybody have a smokeless lube formula? Velocity isn't as much an issue as smokeless is.
TIA

Search TFL for FWFL. Should get you pointed in the right direction for a good homeade lube.

The Lee liquid alox is pretty low smoke. You are going to have some smoke if you don't have leading I think, I just don't believe you can lube enough to keep the leading away without some smoke.

Thanks for the Felix Lube link Steve, I had lost that file on my last computer crash. Most versions use castor oil as their essential lube component and I suspect that means smoke. HSMITH may have it right when he says smoke will probably be there if the stuff works. I have heard Lyman orange is good also.
