Rooster Jacket Bullet Lube

[Jayhawker]

How well does this stuff prevent leading? I've got a bunch of 14-16 Bhn .38/.375 cast bullets that are just fine up to about 1000 fps but anything more than that will cause leading. I'd like to boost the load some but don't want the leading. I've also got some very hard (22 Bhn) bullets but you have to shoot them as full-on magnum loads to get them to obdurate enough to make a good seal, otherwise they lead too. I've used liquid Alox in the past which worked well but really gummed-up the dies. Will the Rooster do the same thing? Does talcum sprinkled on the treated bullets help the situation? Any information would be appreciated.

All liquid lubes are sticky, but Rooster is half as sticky as Lee Liquid Alox. Plus it dries faster under a fan.

Dip the bullets rather than tumble or flood coat. Grasp the bullet by the nose with tweezers, dip the base into the Rooster up to the shoulder, then stand it up on a cloth or a wire mesh and dry with a fan overnight (don't skip the fan, it's important). The nose stays clean. You still get a little residue in your seating die, but no more than a traditional wax lube.

I believe rooster lube does an great job with that.. I have/am using Bullet Meister Bullets and they do use rooster lube, the bullets themselves are 14-16 bhn and do excellently at about 1200 fps (.30-30)
