Hey Noz,
Ah yup. I wouldn't necessarily call it "cheating" as much as "taking advantage." It seems Pinnacle makes it own form of "lube." Pinnacle is, after all, APP by a former name. APP/Pinnacle should work well with any lube. Or no lube. I, in fact, am a proponent APP. I shoot a whole lot of it.
I would really be interested in the results of the folks shooting Powder Coat bullets with real Black. The powder coat would provide some lubrication of the bullet itself thru the bore, but would leave nothing behind to help soften/keep soft the BP fouling. Curious.
