Conical Lube

[rodwha]

I bought most of the stuff to make the lube Gatofeo mentions (2 parts paraffin, 2 parts mutton tallow, and 1 part beeswax) that I'll be using for the felt wads I'll be making.

Should I change up the ratios for lubing conicals? I live in Texas where it's hot all the way through fall.

I don't have a lube sizer setup.

I figured I would do as I've seen others do in which they stand the projectiles up in a small bowl/cup and allow them to cool in a pool of lube. Not sure how to get the excess off or if it's even a big deal.

Read the other wad/lube posts over the past week.
I learned a bit about lanolin (available from Duro-felt) http://www.durofelt.com/image_33.html and how it supposedly makes your aforementioned lube "stickier" for use with conicals.
Check into it, you might find it worth your effort.

Lee used to have a lube kit that included a device for cutting the excess lube off. The 310 shop will make you a cutter to the size you desire, or make one yourself from a cartridge case or piece of thin wall pipe.
