Guns and Blowin Shit Up!

28 calibers. Good Lord! Hope you weren't counting (to 21) out in public :snicker:
I don't even own 28 guns.
[size=78%](Holy Sheit, yes I do - I just counted and ....If you count Sleepy Joe's definition of "guns": parts that are yet to be guns. But hey, if you count the 3 male "adult" boys and the wife, then I am not a TOTAL gun nut cause the FIVE of us only own "a few" each)[/size]
I think I'm only at 7 calibers though. Okay 10 - forgot about the shotguns and the 30-30 until I started counting.
.357/38
9mm
.22
.45 ACP
.223
.308
7.62x39
30-30
20GA
12GA
I have dies for all (except 22 & shotguns, 30-30) but so far I have only loaded in .357 & 38special, 9mm, and .223. Mostly target stuff in 9mm and several different loads for the .357 and 38spcl (including those spire points for the lever action rifle ;) . Pretty happy with one load I found this weekend (in 55gr), but yet to play with the heavier bullets for 223. I've do have some Hornady 69gr & 75gr BTHP, but haven't loaded any yet. Also have some Hornady 60gr V-max (polymer tip) which are supposed to be accurate.
Might play with some 7.62x39 loads next, but I don't have all that much Brass for it - just what I've shot. I like that gun build though, it's fun to shoot. AR platform. Just open sights on that one, but good for clanging steel. I've got a shit ton of that Russian powder than I just can't quite get to work in the .223 rounds - but expect it will be fine for the 7.62x39 & probably the .308 as well....when I get there....eventually.
Giddy up - the saga continues.

Mixed my own Gun Case Lube brew - had the materials on hand for some time. Pure Lanolin mixed with medical grade alcohol. 10-12 parts alcohol, 1 part lanolin. Read about this a year ago and ordered the stuff. Mixed mine 11:1 and it works fantastic and does not stink up the place like Hornady Gun Case lube aerosol spray. Also my ingredients will last for several years and cost about $25 total. Think I have enough to mix a little more this spray bottle 3-4 times
My bench is inside, so....toxic smells get noticed. This stuff smells like....well alcohol, but its very mild. I wondered how quickly it would separate, but after a week, there was only slight residue settled to bottom of bottle and a mild shake and good to go. Have loaded about 300 rounds (long neck 223) so far and it has worked wonderfully. Pretty happy with it.
(No Mick, you can't drink the medical alcohol.)

Bench looks a bit different than it did a couple years ago...burdened down with more calibers, dies, bullets, supplies, manuals, etc, etc.
(still no weed killer on there though) :raspberry:

I don’t find gun lube to be the problem with vapor trails at the bench. It’s the cleaning supplies, primarily bore cleaner. I’ve been pretty happy with clp, it hit the mainstream 2002/03. I think because the early stuff was “mil spec”, and mil spec was all the craze in the AR world back then.
Just reread your post. Are you using this as a gun lube, or a case lube?
richkrt99:
Sorry....Lanolin mixture is for Case lube. I see I did type Gun lube there.
I used Hoppes gun cleaning since forever, but yeah inside it's rough. I tried some CLP couple years ago and pretty much switched over since I do the bulk of my gun cleaning inside. Although.....I don't mind the smell of Hoppes but everyone else (okay....the wife, which is the only one that matters) doesn't like it.
