Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting Lube for the resizing die and pressure seal o-rings - Lubrisizer

When I was in the service, we used Molykote as a lube for the O-rings on bomb racks. The POL locker in the section always had three or four tubes of Molykote inside. Since we used it all the time, I never gave it much thought, When I left the service, I had a half tube of it in my locker that came home with me. It lasts a long time when you are using it in the gun room. But after 17 years, I ran out, and started looking for some.

Jiminy Jillikers! $40 CDN a tube! A little rich for my blood. I had no idea that stuff was so expensive, and I went searching for an alternative. I stumbled across Canadawide Liquidations on ebay. $12 a tube and in my hands within three days.



All of this leads up to, what are you using as a lube? I bet a lot of guys are using synthetic oil. Just curious.
