relubeing bullets
I've got a bunch of lead SWC that have goopy soft lube that's migrated all over the bullet. They gum up my dies and don't function 100% because the chamber gets gunked up. Whats the best way to get them cleaned up and relubed bearing in mind I have no sizing/lubing equipment and this will be a 1 time job. Thanks

Re: relubeing bullets
I had a similar problem and I switched to the Brazos coated bullets. Our summer AZ temperatures caused the wax lube to soften/melt and gunk up all my dies. Since I switched to Brazos, no problems whatsoever. and bullets are just as accurate if not better.

Just loaded a sample pack of the Brazos coated. Trying them indoors for function in a few. But I still have to do something with over 1k of goopy (not Brazos) bullets!javaduke wrote:I had a similar problem and I switched to the Brazos coated bullets.

Re: relubeing bullets
A lee sizer is pretty cheap. That should wipe off the excess. If not then you can use mineral spirits to clean the bullets then tumble lube them with something like 45-45-10

If they’re already sized. Just wash off all the old goop with mineral spirits or perhaps naphtha (OUTSIDE, AND AWAY FROM FLAMES) and reline using 45-45-10 or liquid alox.
