Wads and Lube

[HEAD0001]

I know we have thrown this around before, but not together. Maybe I have been lucky, but I have never lubed my MZ conicals. I also do not use a wad, and I shoot heavy loads with my conicals. As much as 130 grains of loose 3F BP, and Triple 7. Have I just been lucky??? I do size my BP bullets. I am thinking about lubing my next batch of MZ bullets, but as I said I have never had a problem before. What do you guy's think??? Tom.

lube up a hand full and give it a try, that is what I would do. but I am a young buck when it comes to ML.

Do you realize that you will be very likely to lead the barrel?

Before I ever stated enjoying Mls and all they bring to ones life, I cast and reloaded for various calibers for myself and my Pop. One of the thingsI was taught to always do with a non jacketed bullet, was lube. Whether liquid alox, or a lube that's applied while sizing.
I just naturally carried this over to MLs. I ordered some 460 gr from No Excuses and they come lubed. Got some TC maxihunters and they come lubed.
it must be a good thing.
I know it's a must with BP cartridge shooting, so why not frontstuffers.
I believe the mainreason is to soften fouling and to possibly prevent worse leading than you'll get already. I could be wrong, but I'll continue to lube.
Even if it's only because it makes me feel better.



A good read......
