It's been exactly one year since I made this beeswax and bacon grease bullet lube for my my Tacopocalypse VR. I've been storing it in my hot garage ever since. Has it gone rancid?
This video is a VR to the Tacopocalypse challenge issued by Full.Lead.Taco. His YouTube channel recently crossed over the 2,000 subscriber mark and that prompted him to do a giveaway. Taco is one of the nicest and most generous guys you'll ever talk to, and he has some of the best prize options of any giveaway I've ever seen.
This video features bullet casting over an open flame, making bullet lube from bacon grease, pan lubing, reloading, and range time with my .44 Magnum.
Sooner or later, every bullet caster needs to decide how they plan to lubricate their bullets before loading. Lubrisizing with a high-end unit from Star, RCBS or Lyman is fast, but expensive. Powder coating works well, but takes a lot of time and energy. Tumble-lubing with a product like Lee's Liquid Alox is simple, but makes a big mess. Sometimes the old ways still have a place in the modern caster's arsenal, and for many of us, that makes pan-lubing a great option.
