After doing some research on casting, which will be my first time, I am assuming I need to apply lube after I cast. I was thinking of taking the .54 great plains conicals and putting them in a pot with melted beeswax. After the beeswax is cooled I can punch them out. Then I am left with a conical with a nice coating of lube. I will use bore butter for swabbing the bore when shooting.
My only question/concern is that punching the conicals out of the beeswax is going to be difficult. Should I mix the beeswax with something? Should I use something else besides beeswax? Or should I hand lube with bore butter before shooting?
Thanks!!
