 Antique Gun Stock Cleaner and Reviver

Antique gunstock cleaner and reviver is a blend of all natural ingredients that will remove grease, dirt etc from the woodwork of your rifle and then restore its original oiled finish. the more you use this product the better your rifle will become, I use it every time I clean my rife after shooting it, I am always amazed how dirt is still coming out of the rifle and how nice the woodwork looks after. It is quite economic to use as  you put a little on a cloth and rub well in, the woodwork should be left with the lightest of smears over it, and should dry to a silky smooth finish, if the surface becomes sticky you are using far to much. When you receive your bottle of polish you will notice that it has settled out in to two layers, you need to shake vigorously before use and every few minutes as it separates quite quickly. This product will not work on wood that has been finished with varnish, spray epoxy coating or other synthetic finishes. This product is manufactured to Reloading.org.uk own recipe. £3.00 per 125ml bottle

 Wad stack pusher with depth stop

When putting the wad stack (Fibre wad x 3 plus a lube wad) in the case neck it is important to keep the stack inside the case neck, this small tool allows you to set the depth you push the stack into the neck. This is particularly important if you are finger seating your bullets or using extremely light neck tension. Available in .458 cal to fit 45/70 etc, 577/450 and 577 for the snider. Other sizes can be made if you can give me an exact neck size.

Fully adjustable from 10mm to well past the end of the neck. £5.00

 

Just set the tool to push the stack to the depth you want the bullet to go in the case, check to see the whole of the stack is still within the neck of the case and you can be sure each stack will be in the same place. This tool will also allow inspection of the top of the stack to ensure you have no lube leakage that could result in the top wads sticking to the back of the bullet.

Reloading.Org.uk BP Pan Bullet Lube

 

 

 

 

 

This is a black powder bullet lubricant/fouling softener is similar in consistency to Cheddar cheese and is made to our own formula. The Lube is intended to be melted and put in to a shallow tray or pan that has the bullets stood in and filled up to the top of the grease groves. When cool the bullets can be removed by pulling them out with needle nosed pliers, you can also remove the solid lube from the tray and push them out. The lube can also be used to make grease cookies for black powder cartridge guns.  It is based on beeswax and olive oil and smells of wintergreen. we recommend melting this lube either by heating the lube in a container sitting in a water bath such as a saucepan on a stove or in a microwave. Extreme care should be taken not to overheat this product as it will catch fire if heated above its flash point of approximately 200° c, It melts at less than the boiling point of water (100°c) hence the use of a water bath.  12 oz block measuring 138 mm x 62 mm x49 mm (all measurements are approximate) It is Green in colour  £18.00

 

Container for Pan Lubing Bullets

This container measures approximately  270mm x130mm x 65mm  and is made of non stick silicone rubber, this means that the lube can be removed from the mould when cool by simply flexing the container or you can stick the whole thing in the microwave to re-melt the lube after you have removed the bullets or grease cookies. If you draw a line on the inside with a permanent marker you can use it to ensure you always make the same thickness of grease cookies. £5.00

Reloading.Org.uk BP Patch Lube

This is a black powder patch lubricant/fouling softener is liquid lube  made to our own formula. The Lube can be used to lube and keep the fouling soft in muzzle loading pistols, and muzzle loading rifles that use a patched ball,  It is based on beeswax and olive oil and smells of wintergreen and is similar to Liquid Wonder lube  and other patch lubes.  It can also be applied at the range to individual patches but the more solid BP bullet lube may be better. 

150 grams bottle  £6.00

To lube dry patches.

Take a stack of 50 or so dry patches and some patch lube, take approximately 40 off the top of the stack and put a pool of patch lube about the size of a 5 pence piece on the pile and replace the ones taken off the top, take approximately 30 off the stack and do the same, repeat every 10 or so. Now pick up the stack and squeeze top to bottom between your  fingers and thumb working the lube in as you go. Split the again where it wants to as the lubed patches will stick together where the dry ones wont. Keep putting small amounts of lube on the dry patches and squeeze the stack until there are no more dry or partially dry patches. Use as little lube as possible but ensure every patch is fully lubed.

 Reloading.org.uk Perfect Powder Style Measure (upgraded version)

 The  Powder Measure throws charges from 2 to over 100 grains. The Reloading  version is bases on Smart Reloader  powder measure that had the removable top for easy fill, to this we have added a sturdy base to allow the measure to be easily carried or moved and does not require it to be screwed to a table top. We also added a powder baffle to make the volume thrown to be more consistent and a larger knob on the powder adjustment screw for easier adjustment and a throw handle.  Many of our customers use these for filling their vials with Black powder before taking them to the range. Although the internal workings are all plastic and the unit is designed to throw nitro powders we have been unable to find any information on the suitability of using this measure with Black powder, anybody doing so would be at their own risk£47.00
