You can buy pre-drilled casing (and they can be loader many times) that except 209 shot shell primer for most revolvers and use wax bullets. visit www.easyloaderpress.com for more info.

Go to the Lubriplate web site, Distributor Locator (http://www.lubriplate.com/locator/index.asp), locate a dealer in your area and contact them for availability and price, my local distributor has 14oz cans for $7.68.

I have had good success by making wax bullets from 1 pound paraffin. 1/4 pound beeswax and 5 ounces (a litle more than 1/2 cup) of petroleum jelly.

Well, maybe not...I just searched again (not on my "smart"phone) and found 14 oz. for around $19. That is still pretty sporty, will cheaper grease work? Thanks.

I searched for Lubriplate No.115 and a 14.5 oz tube costs about $70! Are there any alternatives? How about brake grease or plain old bearing grease?

I load 50 wax bullets at a time useing a new kind of press and loading blocks that I invented. I use pre-made wax and drop them in and press and shoot. Takes about 45 seconds and allows me to pratice any time and as much as I want. I practice alot belonging to Cowboy Fast Draw

I'd like to add my 2 cents to this video. I place a .38 wadcutter bullet in the middle of a pie tin and pour melted wax until it reaches the top of the bullet. Then while the wax is still in molten form, I stand the .38 cases up in the wax top down. When the wax cools, I just wiggle the cases a little and they come out perfect and consistent. You can do at least 25-30 at a time. Consistency is the key.

I have used wax bullets in the past. They are powerful enough to dent a garbage can. Wax bullets aren't toys.
