I've never reloaded with lead projectiles but decided to pick some up the other day. I know they must be lubed for many reasons but Cabela's only had one type of lube on hand, it's Lyman Orange. I've read it's good because you can use it indoors and not worry about the Alox found in other lubes (I guess Alox is toxic?). The gentleman there told me to get a pan and melt the orange lube in there and dip the bullets in when the lube starts to cool down. Of course I could buy a fancy bullet lubing device for $125+, but I'm hardly interested at the moment.
Just wanted some opinions on this, I'm also wondering if straight beeswax would be a decent lube since the Alox mixes are 50% or so beeswax.
These rounds are .45 caliber, 250 grain and will be loaded for my Uberti SAA clone, so velocities will be around 800fps.
