Anyone found a solution to the problem of White Lightening lube corroding lead bullets. I'd be interested in what you have to say.

Shoot them fast. How long they been sitting around? Send the rest of that lube to me and do not use it.

Re: White Lightening Lube and Lead Corrosion
I've been using White Lightening lube for over 4 years & have seen no signs of lead corrosion. What you may be seeing is the lube absorbing moisture and growing whiskers, which is not lead corrosion. After Dan Theodore developed the lube he freely made it clear that WL should not be used if long-term, lubed-bullet storage is desired. If you leave WL-lubed bullets in moist, warm weather, in a few weeks the lube will absorb too much moisture, grow whiskers and pop out of the grooves". For this reason I keep my WL lubed bullets in a freezer for extended storage & have not had any problems.ole pizen slinger wrote:Anyone found a solution to the problem of White Lightening lube corroding lead bullets.

If you desire to store lube bullets for an extended time, use a beeswax based lube. But, per Dan, "beeswax creates quite a bit of fouling in the bore and does nothing to improve fouling control. It is basically just a carrier for the active ingredients as well as a preservative."

Don't listen to Coltsmoke. He will just waste the lube.
Send me a PM and we can arrange to take it off your hands, trust me.
