I have many conical bullets that are 10-25 years old. I buy a box (who knows how long they've sat in the shop), shoot a few, and then let the rest sit. The lube on them often hardens and starts to fall off. When I think about shooting them again or trying them in a different gun, there's always the question of whether the old lube will affect accuracy or permit leading. Besides there seems to have been a shift in the thinking of how much to lube certain bullets...like the TC MaxiBall.
I'm thinking of heating up the bullets I'm interested in trying, melting off the old lube, and relubing with Bore Butter or some other bullet lubricant. Has anyone done this? Do the bullet lubes used for centerfire handgun bullets work...or, if not, why not? What would be recommended?
Thanks,
Bob
