If you have a firearm shooting a specific hardness of bullet, at a specific velocity, does the brand or type of bullet lube it likes best have more to do with the firearm's barrel or the bullet?
My reason for asking such a question is in regards to my 480 Ruger SRH. My first mould was a Lee 476-325. I worked up 1,300 to 1,400 fps loads with 2400, WW296, and Lil Gun using FWFL and homemade Sta-Lube EHP moly-graphite grease 50/50 with beeswax. In all cases the Sta-Lube/beewax shot more accurately. I'm now ready to work up some loads for a new Mnt. Mold 400 gr WFNGC bullet. Should I go through the same workups, or eliminate the FWFL from contention? The bullet's weight is different, has alonger bearing surface, and definitely has deeper lube grooves.
