Lube flaking off bullets?

[jason280]

I worked out a trade with a gentleman on another forum, and may have gotten snookered a bit. Guy has stopped responding to emails, so looks like I am stuck. The trade was initially for 500x .41 bullets and 500x .45 bullets, but ended up with 1k count of .41 cal 210gr bullets. No big deal in the grand scheme of things, but I finally got a chance to check out the bullets today and found that the lube isn't in the best shape. Most of the bullets look OK, but quite a few have flaked/flaking lube and in some cases, little to no lube at all.

Seeing how I am stuck with theses bullets, what are my options?

Pan lube them. It's simple enough if they're sized how you'd want them.

Pan lube? I am boolit ignorant, please tell me more...;)

Youll need a shallow pan, and a bullet lube but here's a video that will show you the idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LU8o14DCK0

+1 for tumble lubing. If you aren't going for mag velocity, I would just tumble in "Ben's liquid lube" (search here) and burn em.

I too would tumble lube them. BLL is a great tumble lube, among others.

Thanks for the information. Can I simply lube them as is, or do I need to do something with the current lube in place?

Lube as is as long as you aren't entering a bullseye match. Might cause minor weight variation, but I see no other draw back.
