RE: Lubing your conicals
One thing you can do in an hour or less:
Take your unlubed conicals and place them all in a bowl or small container.
Then microwave (nuke) (or boiling water)your favorite lube (Iuse Rooster Labs,T/C Bore Butter, Oxyoke Wonderlubeand Hornady Great PlainsLube depending on the day or in hot weather Rooster Labs)to the point of flowing and drizzle the lube over the conicals. Mix things around so all the bullets are covered.
I do the same thing to lube patches and wads.
Allow the concoction in the bowl to cool.
Then pick out the lubed conicals or patches/wadsand place them back in the package they camein or in zip lock bags.
Then pick out the left over lube and put it back into the container for next time.
At the range, you still (alway will)end up getting somegoop on your hands, but not nearly as much and you spend more time at the range shooting versus preparing to shoot.
