Jamison - it is not even a contest. Bertram is unfit for anything. Doesn't even make good scrap.
Bullets depend upon twist rate. What twist is that barrel?
The 85 gr bullets you mentioned don't sound bad. I use 65 and 79 gr bullets in my 1:15 twist rifle. Longer bullets are not stable with bp loads. But driving them faster with smokeless a longer bullet might be fine. Some folks shoot bullets well over 110 grs but with modern, fast-twist barrels and smokeless.
You can lube your own bullets w/o anything special for equipment. Pan lubing is as easy as it gets.
