Lube on GC bullet with NO GC?

[km101]

I have read several stickies about shooting GC bullets without GC's. My question is, will The lube on the GC base kill the powder charge if the ammo is stored for a long time?

I like to load several thou of a caliber when I start a run, so some of the ammo may be stored for several months. Here in N. Texas it gets HOT in the summer and I am worried about lube at the base of the bullet, where the GC would normally be, killing the powder charge. Anyone have any experience with this? Am I worrying needlessly? Or is it a real problem? If there is a risk of contaminating the powder charge, I will just go ahead and GC all these bullets! Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Get them to shoot straight first, then worry about the lube. Once you have a load worked up you can always just wipe the groove out. If you happen to incorporate Dacron into the load workup, it makes the lubed base groove a total non-issue.

Dacron?? What form? How is it incorporated? I'm not familiar with it.
