How often do you lube lugs when ff Ackleys?

[muleman69]

Is it to be applied on both outside and back side?

Slick 50.........automotive Moly grease. Bought a tube about 15 years ago to try as sizing lube as mentioned on BR Central for moving wildcat shoulders....... yes it worked well, its still on my bench and in my range box as my go to lug lube.

Since I will fireform a 40deg shouldered improved case while shooting a match I grease between matches...or every 22-30rds or so. My chamber is cut for a light crush fit for most cases. I grease only the surface contacting the action lug (the backside of the lug) and try not to get it anywhere else. It has kept my Borden bolt from galling after FF'ing over 800 cases.

Excellent choice. High pressure wheel bearing grease is good. Get the moly and thats even better

That’s good to know. I have enough Lubriplate to last me and my progeny for several generations
