Last month I got a few gift cards for Cabelas. I ordered a bunch or reloading supplies, including the "Lee Modern Reloading" Second Edition manual.
In the muzzleloader cast bullet section - I seen the article about using liquid Alox as a cast bullet lube for muzzleloaders, and how it is superior to traditonal lubes. Ive always used Bore Butter for muzzleloaders, and it served me well, but in the Summer when target shooting - its gets real runny. Alox would seem like a logical choice - since I already have enough of it on my loading bench. Plus the Alox'd bullets can easily be carried in a container when hunting.
I was always told not to use Petro based products with black powder & pyrodex, as it forms a corrosive tar that is difficult to remove. Alox seems to be a petro based product.
Has anyone used it for muzzleloaders, with a bare non sabot cast bullet and did it work for reducing/eliminating lead fouling? Is the residue difficult to remove with standard muzzleloader cleaning chemicals (I use T/C 13). I plan on trying it with my self cast Lee R.E.A.L. bullets.
I may try a bunch next time I get my inline at the range, and see how it fairs up to Bore Butter.
