I just started reloading, only 45 ACP for now, and have been using 230 grain FMJ bullets. I saw 500 rounds of Oregon Trails laser cast lead bullets (230 grain LRN) for only 52 dollars so I bought them. I read in Lee's Modern Reloading 2nd edition that all lead bullets should be lubed.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do I need to lube these bullets or are they good to go out of the box? What is that little green ring around the bullet if not the lube?
Here is a link to the bullets I bought, and help would be appreciated:
