Once again, I'm swearing never to repeat the mistake of reloading with lead bullets while taking a break from cleaning lead gunk caked to my barrel. It seems that there has to be a better way. I don't have this problem with .22lr because they seem to be really WELL LUBED and I'm thinking about maybe spraying lead bullets with case lube--scotch-guard, anything--before loading them.
The one concern I've got with that idea is getting an oily/waxy film thick enough to raise chamber pressure when firing. Thoughts?
Yeah, the wax filled grooves are supposed to do that already and leading is partly a matter of the ratio of lead to tin--so is there a particular brand of lead bullet that doesn't smear barrels with a thick lead mess?
