BP lube and jacketed bullets
« on: February 12, 2022, 07:28:19 PM »
Okay, I am new to BP but had a guy at the LGS today telling a new shooter that if he used jacketed bullets with real BP he didn't have to worry about using BP specific loads. I told him to check with experienced shooters, but I understand that the lube keeps the BP fouling soft and would have nothing to do with what type of bullet used. Is this correct?

PLUS ONE for Abilene you betcha!!!

The guy at the LGS is an IDIOT.  Black Powder fouling is cumulative.  It builds every shot.  If not kept soft, it soon causes rifles and pistols to shoot shotgun patterns.  And once hardened into Black concrete, really hard to clean.

The ONLY thing that can be shot without lube is APP.

Once upon a time I asked for Goex 2F black powder at a gun shop with a known national name. After a brief question and answer period A can of Alliant Red Dot was presented to me as "black powder".   Not just stupid, scary stupid.

 :)  It Never Ceases to Amaze   >:(

The abject STUPIDITY exhibited by some employees behind the counter at Local Gun Shops as well as the Big Box Stores, who know absolutely nothing, and feel they must freely dispense DANGEROUS information and suggestions to patrons who often know even less than they do.

Sorry folks, I wasn't clear. It was NOT an employee at the LGS, they are good. This was another customer.

OOPS!!  Allow me to Clarify (Butter used for Lobster).  I was responding to Battersby and Abilene. 

My first response was in response to your first post not in response to the responses to other responses after the first response.  There.  Clarified.  Sort Of.

Wow a case full of red dot compressed by the bullet 1/16 inch.  Would certainly turn the pistol into a hand grenade.  Would blow a fellers head clean off were it a 45-70 rifle.
