I've heard it can work just fine. All you need is a light coating of alox, and you're good to go. The bullet in question is the 40 cal, top left. This is the best I have managed to get them.
The 9mm TL bullets below them shoot fairly clean, but not as good as MBC bullets.
My 223 bullets have gas checks, so that's cheating. But the grooves fill out nice!
Anyone?
Yes, it works for me, just like that. Yes, it works for me, but your bullets look terrible. No, tumble lubing non-TL bullets doesn't work for me.
Last time I tried this, my bore fouled (badly!) with one shot. The only difference is I cut the alox with some wax, this time. And I sized the bullets, which seems to have helped them pick up a tiny bit more lube. The gun shoots the exact same MBC bullets pretty good, sized to the same 401.
