I'm thinking of switching from Lyman Super Moly to LBT's "blue". No particular reason, I'm happy enough with SM, I guess I just like Veral's sales pitch! :lol:
I've tried going from SM to a carnuba "brew", have gone back to SM but bought some LBT on a whim...
Any comments from actual users?

LBT HIGH PERFORMANCE BULLET LUBRICANTS
All three hardness's have the same performance characteristics, which are unequaled by any other lubricant. Due to superior control of friction, which is the cause of leading, LBT lubricants produce less pressure than any other cast bullet lubricant, accompanied by higher velocity. Rifles can be loaded to 3,000 fps without bore leading. Magnum handguns absolutely will not lead with gas checked bullets, and fdPB can be loaded to 1800 fps without leading in cool weather. At high atmospheric temperatures, which are the worst conditions for shooting lead, 1400 fps. Typically, handguns will produce 300 fps more speed than with jacketed of equal weight, if one of our LBT bullet designs is used. This in handguns only. Rifles tend to give very close to jacketed speeds with equal bullet weights and powder charges. – One of the most attractive properties of LBT lubricants which no other can offer is: If you lead your bore from a crazy load or getting the gun too hot, etc. Let it cool down or go back to a load that doesn't lead and shoot 2 or 3 if gas checked, 5 or so if plain base, and the lead is gone. If you're leaded up from some other lubricant, LBT with gas checked bullets will clean it out far quicker than shooting jacketed, but not with plainbase. Lead actually solders to the bore with other lubes. With LBT lubes, IF you can make it lead, it's so loose that lead will wipe it clean!. We recommend never cleaning the bore when LBT lubes are used. Look down the bore and if there is lead, shoot it out, if not, DON'T CLEAN IT!
Very few people who have tried our lubricants will use anything else.
