What lubricants can I use for my Beeman P1 air pistol? Are there other suitable substitutes for the factory made lubes for the piston and spring?
I have the M&P 358395 HBWC mold to feed a S&W 52. Since these bullets are loaded flush with the case mouth I assume it would be advantageous to use WC brass.
