[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cast bullets without lube

Posted: 1/21/2014 7:37:41 AM EDT

Two questions.
Does anyone know of a vendor that sells bullets with no lube(that you must lube your self)? I have a lube/sizer, but don't want to cast.

or

If there is a vendor that sell these, is it even cost effective as opposed to just buying them ready to shoot?

Thanks

More than likely they will still charge you the same with or without lube. See incoming IM.

Guess you could find a local caster to make you some.

You could boil pre lubed cast bullets to melt/wash the lube off.

I have a few hundred bullets that need to be lubed.They are 158 gr SWC from a Lyman mold (I think)If you want to lube them I'll split them with you...you keep 1/2 and send me back 1/2.
There might also be some .45's ........not sure.

Sell your luber/sizer or get into casting.

Lube is very very cheap, so finding a source that doesn't

Lube is going to be hard, and I doubt offer any significant

Savings, especially when you factor in the cost of your

Labor to lube every single bullet.

The advantage is you get a better lube or may be able to size to custom diameter. Commercial casters use very hard lubes so it holds on through shipping and varied temperatures. Since most of the cost in casting bullets is the lead and melting lead there is very little to save in lubing and sizing yourself.
