Any idea how long bullet lube will last on Lasercast

bullets? Thanks. I'm thinking about buy 1000 for my Super Blackhawk and I'm not sure how long it will take me to use them up.

Most factory bullet casters uses hard lubes (almost like a wax). So as long as you keep the bullets away from extreme heat the lube will last for years.

How long? Longer than you will be able to make reloads.

Years, if not decades. Bullet lube has oil in it, along with the wax. If the oil evaporates out the lube will loose its lubricating properties. So put your bullets in a ziplock bag, and put the bag and bullets back in the box. Should last for a long time.
