Anyone have a good solution to keep the seating plug from getting packed with Lee Liquid Alox when seating bullets? Thanks

jglenn, I ordered an 8 oz. bottle of liquid X-LOX from Zencart to try. It's suppose to be thinner, dries quicker, and dries harder than LLA. Jerryinstead of using straight LEE alox I use the 45-45-10 mix from LSS

thinner and just as affective.. dries fast too. haven't had much issue with it on the seating plug but I'm running 38 148gr HBWC most of the time
Thanks for your input. I realize now that I have been using way to much LLA. JerryYou are using way too much.
I place from 200-500 bullets in a glass casserole dish, set all bullets on their sides, squirt a LITTLE LLA on them and then shuffle/roll the bullets around. After about 30 seconds or so, I inspect to see if they are all shiny/wet looking. If not, I use a little more LLA. Nice being able to lube up to 500 bullets in less than 2 minutes.
When dry, you should not be able to see the lube on the bullet at all, other than possibly a very faint yellow/brown look. If you can clearly SEE the lube, you have used too much.
Next, let them dry for day or two. If you need bullet right now, you should have lubed them a day or two ago.
You can thin the lube or warm it up if you want. Naphtha and Mineral Spirits (real mineral spirits, not that green abomination) will work.
Xlox is LLA. I don't see how it can dry harder, unless you are comparing it to LLA that hasn't had time to really dry.
