Lubricated match bullets

Post by SGMJody on Wed Jul 13, 2011 7:25 am

Anybody here that shoots high power long range competition lubricate the bullets/case necks when loading rounds for accuracy? If so, what lube do you use?

I wanna say they stop doin that back in the 50s or 60s after a bunch of rifles blew up from too much lube. They did a test and found the lube added no accuracy.

I don't lube, but I do chamfer the inside of the cases (trimmed or not).
