Gut reflection here, but when I dissected the factory stuff to check dims I saved the powder from 5 Wolf rounds without a clue why. Now I know? 5.0 grains of greenish yellow flakes I'll call Brand X. Wild guess on my part it was likely made by Norma.
The lube grooveless drive band was for prototype expedience and my mimic with the file leaves a knurl similar to some production ammo albeit more pronounced. My jewel was done with a file also, but not with the heavy handed approach. My sense of affairs is that if the dims are compatible there is precious little need for lube. A little for sure, but not enough for as many grooves represented by the new method. Hand tools and ingenuity are amusing to say the least.
No Bullshop lube...yet.
Will be after round 6 soon, cases are cleaned and primed.
