Has anyone tried one of the boolits without lube grooves using 45-45-10 or other non traditional lubes?

The only non traditional lubes I use are HiTek and PC. Works Good.
I use BLL AND a gas check, PB leaded badly in rifle.
Whatever!
Grooveless boolits are starting to be used by those who PC and paper patch. With the tumble type lubes, I think you need at least a couple of small grooves with the majority of the boolit being a bore rider.
I bought my first slick side Yesterday.
I have shot more then a few that was sent to me.
I PC 98% of my cast so figured time to try!! (Arsenal 403-200 WFN)

No grooves also means more surface for the rifling to grab on. Easier for coating to survive.
No lube grooves means much easier to make molds and swaging dies. That's good enough reason for me.
Another factor in the equation is the hardness of the alloy...That could affect NLG vs LG results.
And yet another factor could be hollow base. That could also affect the NLG vs LG results. Lots to test
