I normally buy lasercast bullets. Every bullet is nicely made and has lube 100% of the places it should be and no bullet is missing anything. But Lasercasts are hard and expensive.
So,
Without naming names I have been buying other bullets from other brands. What I have noticed is yes they are cheaper, sometimes as little as half the costs delivered. Wow that is nice. But I have also noticed that bullets are missing lube. It appears to have fallen out in the box or maybe the bullet lube stuck together and pulled the lube out of the groove and it fell in the box.
Some companies I am finding as many as one bullet in 15 with no lube. Initially i figured ok, that is the price you pay for cheaper bullets and tossed them aside. I then thought about it and figured I should try some experiments to see how many no lube bullets you can shoot before you seriously lead the gun, but that is another story.
So, you guys, what is your tolerance before you say, no more from that company?
1 bullet in 15 no lube
1 bullet in 5?
1 bullet in 50?
1 bullet in 500?
(Or am I just worrying about nothing really).
Finally anyone have a suggestion on a lubricator?
