On hot summer days, having lubricated cartridges' cast bullets with SPG, how is leeching of SPG into powder charge prevented? While I ask about leeching in cartridges, I suspect leeching would be controlled partly by the near-press fit of bullet within cartridge case.
But what about using muzzleloaders or breech-loading non-cartridge rifles such as Sharps 1859/63 rifles, whose tight fit surrounding bullet is less tight? My first thought was to use multiple vegetable wads as buffer beneath bullet. Were bullets and/or cartridges unfired for longer periods - say on a car seat where greenhouse effect from sunlight through windows yield intense heat - SPG would almost certainly begin to flow.
Solutions such as leaving bullets in a cooler or not loading cartridges until you are ready to shoot are not what I'm requesting. There is probably an obvious solution, but I'm blind to it.
