Just wondering if the Beta C Mags are having a sticky problem and that is the reason they are supplying graphite.  Any of you guys out there experiencing sticking problems with your 100 round Beta CMags?

Thanks

That's exactly what it's for. Without it they will not run.

+2 and do not use any type of oil/grease.



when you run out of the beta brand graphite, go get more at home depot.

Also, make sure to clean up any graphite that spills/etc. Corrosion can result.

Is the Beta Brand pure graphite?   Do you know if pour graphite is corrosive to brass, copper if left in magazines for long periods of time?  I have been looking for pure graphite and I think I'll have to start shopping online.

You can tell that the BETA uses a graphite with Silica.  Go outside when you do this, very bad to breathe.  

Get moly powder, works better on all fronts I believe.  

If you have ever got a BETA dirty with sand, even if you clean it as good as you can, you absolutely must get the lube in there or it will not even begin to work.

I will definitely look into the Moly powder.  Thanks for the good information.

Make sure its pure moly and not mixed with graphite.

Will do.

Seems to me that tumbling ammo would be a good idea using these mags.  Using some polish and corn cobb media makes brass ammo clean and slick.
