Well . . . Hi Guys
I'm just sitting here trying to figure out WHY anyone would be concerned with powder sticking to the base of reloaded bullets ?? Trust me, manufacturers of commercial ammunition don't wipe the base of bullets before initial loading. There is also the thought of the really really hot hot fire in the cartridge as the bullet begins it fated journey down the barrel. Burn baby burn.
Understanding I don't cast my own bullets (anymore). When I did cast my own bullets, I used one lube for everything. I don't remember what it was, but I found a really good lube for BP and used that in the luber/sizer for everything. The bullets came out of the L/Sr and went into a box till loaded.
What they looked like on the base, at the other end of the journey never really caused me any pause. Nary a thought. Nor concern. Not a consideration. SO:
NO. I don't, didn't, haven't and won't bother to "lube" the base of the bullet before loading. Nope, Nada, Nix, nerdy Never.
