The 180 PB for the 7.5x55 and the .401 170 for my 10mm. 1/2 WW and 1/2 Lyman #2. Had to crank up the old Lee bottom feed to get the 180s to fill out. Ordered the stuff to make Ben's #2 and a Lee 40 cal push thru. Figger that 180 will also make nice subsonics for my TC 300 B/O Contender rifle. Have to "make do" here as all my PC stuff is 2675 miles away.

Congratulations!
Always exciting with new molds, isn’t it? I actually treated myself to 4 new molds (two .22, and two 6,5 molds) during the 10th anniversary discount :). They are still in transit, as they have to cross the Atlantic ocean, and fight through the national customs service (the latter being the greater challenge).
Good luck with your new molds!

Ben's #2 is the new mix since Johnson's liquid wax is no longer made.

it appears Ben updated it to: 30% LLA or Xlox /30% Lundmark Liquid Wax /40% Mineral spirits (or naptha). Pour together & shake, no heating required.

OK......That's what I call BLL alternate.
When you say " Ben updated the mix ", that is me, I'm very familiar with the mix.
Just a bit of name confusion.
Have a good day.

Ben’s #2- 5% each Sb and Sn the remainder lead? Ben is older than Lyman.....

Ben’s #2, what Ben needs to do each morning to feel right?

Ben’s #2- what we call Trevor as he becomes Ben’s assistant in casting, lubing, and loading?

Ben’s #2- his second child?

So many options, so little time.
