    Ben's Red
    Simple lube
    Lee Alox
    These 3 have worked best for me so far.

    Jim's prefered mix of Any good moly grease and bees wax 50/50 works good.
    Really its just easier to use LARS he does a good job and is a good guy. Prices are great. And any of his Stuff works great. I prefer BAC from him. But use all of it.

    In Reality you only need 2: The "Real Ben's Red" not any of the "monkeyed" versions! for serious work.... and just plain LLA for low speed fun work.... Nuf said!

    I said 4 but that is if you count HiTek as a lube.
    Still using LLA on some pistol stuff where I have had bonding issues using HiTek on contaminated lead.
    Alox or BPG depending on if it is smokeless or BP.

    I voted "1" but the reality is probably 2 in that I used Lee Liquid Alox and Minwax for my primary and sometimes just Lee Alox for whatever reason.

    Ceresin Purple for the lube sizer, and for those "as cast" that I tumble lube, White label Xlox

    Ben's works great in my rifle but seems too slippery in revolvers, breaks case tension too early so am thinking about some lanolin in it.
    Felix works in both, so does Satan's and MML.
    I don't like orange Magic or LBT hard Blue, soft is better.
    CR is a good lube, little hard though.
    LLA gets tossed or given away.
    SPG does not work good, home made better for BPCR. Best for patches is Young Country. Wonder Lube, etc, dries into powder. if you hunt in cold weather and have a tube of Wonder Lube you need to drive the truck on the tube to lube a patch. You can shoot 200 or more shots a day with Young Country without wiping the bore or losing accuracy. Any balls get sticky, add more Young Country to the next patch.

    I just voted for 2. I use NRA lube because I have so much raw material and 45/45/10 for tumble lube. None of my loads would push anyone's envelope. Plus, I don't even know how to read most posts in the "Extreme" Boolit Lube thread.

    In reading the posts, I noticed that some include lube for patches. While not a patch, I use a lube for felt wads in my Old Army. So far I have been able to avoid messy over ball lube. This is a homemade lube I found on another board. Consists of 40/40/20 mutton tallow, canning paraffin and beeswax
