Hi, loaders... I lube with a combo of beef tallow, bee's wax, and Alox. My question is...is it possible to use too much lube? I do the dip method on my .45 and .54 cal Lee R.E.A.L. bullets.

I don't think you can get too much - like mentioned above - the excess will get scrapped off on loading, but if you use a jag to push the bullet in it will also help put that lube on the barrel walls, and that does help with fowling-wiping for the next shot. It certainly won't hurt anything.
BTW - that is exactly how I lube mine - I like lots of lube.
