I too shoot a 50 Cal and have cast my own Lee REAL bullets they come out to 252 grains when I cast them. I have used TC Bore Butter Natural Lube 1000 plus and Maxi Lube on them and they both do very well for me. I like the Bore Butter because it is harder and stays on the bullets better, but I am in North Carolina, and the avg temp is about 30 degrees or so in the winter. The maxi lube is too thin for me.<BR>P.S. Crisco works well too!<p>[This message has been edited by blammer (edited March 18, 2001).]
