I thought I was going to be able to help on this one...as I've gone pretty much all LCB in my 44 and 41 magnums. Never had this problem. I know Hornadys have no lube ring and just have that 'tacky' lub on the bearing surface of the bullets. That makes me think its alright...BUT those bullets were designed to no have a lube ring full of lube. Can you find a phone number for the manufacturer? I'd call before I made any decisions.
