The RCBS 80008 Bullet Lubricant delivers consistent lubrication for cast lead bullets in pistol and low-velocity rifle applications. This specialized formula reduces leading while maintaining accuracy across multiple shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic lubricants, the RCBS 80008 formula stays stable at temperatures up to 150°F without melting or running off bullets during storage. The precise viscosity prevents excessive buildup that can affect accuracy while providing enough protection to eliminate lead fouling. Standard lubricants often fail at higher temperatures or create inconsistent coating thickness that impacts bullet performance.
Key Features
- Temperature-stable formula remains effective up to 150°F
- Reduces barrel leading by 90% compared to unlubricated cast bullets
- Compatible with all cast lead bullet designs and alloy compositions
- Easy application with consistent coverage using standard lubrication equipment
- Non-corrosive formula safe for all barrel materials including stainless steel
- Long shelf life with no separation or degradation over time
- Economical coverage rate of approximately 1,000 bullets per container
Field testing demonstrates the lubricant maintains consistent performance across temperature ranges from 32°F to 150°F. Competitive shooters report improved accuracy consistency when switching from generic alternatives, particularly in high-volume practice sessions. The formula works effectively with bullet velocities up to 1,200 fps, making it suitable for most pistol cartridges and moderate rifle loads like .38 Special, .45 ACP, and low-velocity .30-30 applications.
