I just verified with the friend that they shot about 12 to 15 shots, no swabbing, using 100gr of Pyrodex RS. The double lubed bullets grouped just under 1" at 100 yards with 9 shots. The average muzzle velocity was 1580fps at 15". The NE's grouped right at 2". All loaded with similar pressure on the ram rod.

His theory is that when he sizes the bullets it leaves the bearing surface unlubed and therefore does not leave lube on the lands as it goes down. This then causes the fouling to become harder to overcome on the next loading. By lightly coating with the Alox it helps keep the fouling soft and gives a more consitent feel to the loading of the next projectile. He also is wondering if it is the combination of the types of lube he is using. He is using a Lyman moly lube in the lubrasizer,he couldn't remember the exact name but it's for pistol bullets and labled suitable for BP use. The Alox is applied by rolling the bullets in it to get a light coating similar to the coating on a 22 rimfire bullet.

I will definately be trying this out in my guns as soon as I can get some from him.
