Still make sinkers.To mix the lee alox and johnsons paste wax i use a plastic coolwhip bowl or whatever you have handy.a ziplock bag works also. I add bullets until the bottom is covered then add about 1/2 again that much.An 1/8 teaspoon of each is plenty I then swirl the bullets around for a minute or so and they are all coated.Pour out on wax paper...let sit till dry.( i tested accuracy with pouring out VS sitting them on the paper on the base of the bullet,NO accuracy difference)I do this inside the house ..if outside you will need to heat things up.I have shot my 45acp bullets with straight johnson paste wax no leading at all.Some people mix the 2 lubes together and cook it ..I found no need for that.Simple works for me.It really does not take much lube to keep the 45acp bullets from leading.I double coat my 30-30 and fast 357 mag bullets with straight LLA.My 30-30 170gr speed is mid 1900fps.Another good lube is candle wax mixed with wheel grease or lubriplate white lithium.mixed 50/50I add a crayon to that mix for color.I heat the entire mix of that, and mix it until it cools so it does not separate.I then apply it by hand..That takes a long time but has been a very accurate lube.I will use that for 2000+ fps</blockquote>
