Hey Guys, A few questions?
1- why is special lube needed for black powder in cartridge ammo?
1a- my standard lube and the blackpowder lube by lyman both have a melt temp of 150 degrees.
2- I have a 50/50 mix of BP lube and the standard lube in my sizer. So, my bullets are 50/50 lubed till I can flush out all the reg lube. Can these be fired using BP without any issues?
These are 45LC that will be fired thru a lever avtion 24" and ruger vaqueros 5 1/2".
These will be used in cowboy action shooting and I do not want to cause any issues or hard to cycle fire arms during these events. Should I just keep casting and lubing till all old lube out, then start with 100% BP lubed lead.?
Hope I gave enough info. Thanks, Bob
