I used to use Rooster Jacket on my cast lead pistol bullets before gettting a lubesizer.

My understanding is that it is a water soluable wax so when the liquid dries you have a fine coat of wax. I used to dip my cast bullets in the liquid and then spread them out to dry on wax paper. I found that if I didn't stand them up to dry I woudl get a "dry puddle" of extra wax on the side of the bullet. When I stood them up to dry I would get extra wax around the base of the bullet which was fine for cast pistol bullets but would not be good for jacketed rifle bullets.

It is definatly strange stuff. I am interested to hear about it on jacketed bullets.
