A friend of mine asked me..............." Ben, I just noticed that it has been a year today that you first introduced us to this great lube ( BLL ). I can't help but wonder if you had any idea that it would take off the way it has? Your thoughts? "

My response -
I released the details on Ben's Red about 4 years ago ( I had used it myself for about that length of time before I shared the lube with anyone ) . I couldn't help but believe that Ben's Red would be an instant hit ( and it was........)
As to Ben's Liquid Lube, I must admit that I severely under estimated the potential of this lube. I'd used it in .38 Specials and mild 357 mag. loads. It shot well. After about a years use, I decided to release this one to all of you also.
I never dreamed that the lube would be used in the applications that it has been used successfully in. I've seen " torturous loads " using BLL in the 454 Casull and 44 magnums that really surprised me. The shooters say their bores were mirror clean when the shooting was over.
35shooter uses it in his Whelen at 2,500 fps. Some have shot it in the .223 Rem at 2,900 fps.
I guess my expectations for the lube must have been lower than some of the " adventurous " types who have really pushed the lube to extremes that I never believed possible.
At any rate, I'm thrilled that both lubes are doing well with cast bullet shooters. I'm pushing 70 years of age now, there is little doubt that these 2 lubes will still be going way beyond my years.
Best to all of you,
Ben
