This might be a stupid question, but what is the purpose of lube on bullets such as the Maxi-Ball and Buffalo Bullets? Is it simply to help in getting the bullet down the barrel? My brother has a box of Maxi Balls that are not lubed....would it be possible to shoot them without lube? Or would that somehow be dangerous?
The purpose is to keep fouiling soft and minimize or prevent leading. I shoot naked, lplain lead bullets without a lube - I put a Wonder Wad in first with the bullet on top. Works great, and shoots very accurately! This group was shot with naked Maxi-balls with a Wonder Wad.
