PC and lube or just PC

[Ghost23]

Just getting started casting. Is it worth it to lube 40:1 PC'd hunting bullets or is it a waste of time and effort? Thanks

I dont think you ‘need’ to, but i would still lube them a little especially if you are using real black or subs other than bh209.

Check the fit of the PC bullets.
PC adds to the diameter of bullets. You may or may not want them powder coated.

Yes, using Swiss bp in a TC Hawken.

I will be sizing them to the barrel after pc

No need to lube powder coated bullets but they should be sized to fit your bore.

The lube can help to make the powder fouling easier to clean up, even as the PC stops the leading.
