Cast Bullet - Lubing?

[WhelanLad]

Gday fellas, ive somehow becme really hooked on this 375BB , reading and researching I see a lot of Cast bullets are Lubed...... I sure as hell don't lube mine???
from googles searches and youtubes videos ive came to believe that lubing just 'helps' stuff out, but isn't Absolute important?

would this mostly be used for Soft cast lead?

my Barrel on the Winchester looks to be as clean as clean, using these "hard cast-coated bullets" from Hawksbury River B Co...

so need not worry, gents?

Yes it is mate, not standard led coloured. so that's 'my lube' eh..?? it has lube grooves, so I wondered

People powder coat bullets with lube grooves all the time.

Powder coating is slippery. It is the "lube"

Off their site, "HRBC offers a high performance dry lubrication on all of our projectiles." A little spit works in a pinch. oops wrong thread.

You can shoot one or two unlubed bullets without leading, if it's a good fit. Once the barrel gets warm, nasty things happen.

I do a lot of shooting with smokeless and pure lead with no lube at all (1400fps(14,000 psi) plain base). I also shoot wheel wight cast bullets with no lube, no coating (900 fps (8500 psi) plain base) Fitment it key.


Edit, yeah dont let the barrel get warm. More then 30 shots and it start to lead a bit. I run a brush down the barrel after 20 and let it cool

From looking at a couple of pictures, I would say that the bullets are coated and would not need additional lubricant in the lube grooves. Carry on carrying on.
