So I got a couple LRN 9mmMAK rounds from fellow over at Gunboards to see how they shot in my cz82 (poly rifling) about a month ago... before I joined this board,

Went out, fired off about 200 rounds, and now that I have joined this board I realized I potentially made a large mistake... I didn't lube the rounds at all...

Is this a major issue? Do you need to lube rounds like 9mmMAK? Can I get away without doing so, and if I don't lube them should I expect a decrease in accuracy?

Thanks fellers,

how'd they do?
you can answer your own question by looking in your bbl.

They seemed fine, I am certainly not the best shot with a pistol, and think that most likely accuracy issues would be on my end :P

Barrel didn't seem to really be leaded, at all honestly... So I guess I am good to go?

i'd lube them...
it is there as a friction helper and a gas sealant.
even just some tumble lube would help.

i have seen some get away with not lubing some boolits but they were patching a lube into the bbl every so many shots.
