Scored 2000 Nosler swaged 148 gr. HBWC bullets yesterday (
story here) and since the old original lube on them is pretty much gone I was going to try tumble lubing them with Lee liquid alox.
Have tried tumble lubing in the past on a small batch of some other cast bullets and it's "okay" but it does leave the bullets sticky even when dry. Some youtubers report using some kind of fine powder to coat the bullets to make them less sticky, which sounds like a good idea but youtube being youtube I wanted to double check with the real experts here.
Has anyone done that and did you see any downside to it? My only concern is that even though talc is a soft mineral the powder might be a bit abrasive over the long run. The bullets will be used mostly in a mid-60's Colt Officer's Model Match and I'd hate to do anything that might damage the barrel.
