Leaving your bullets out in the rain after tumble lubing is a terrible way to dry them. Just thought I'd post some helpful advice....

Got some yesterday at Homely Depot...
Edit: tried it, 3" 40s&w, Lee 180gnTC tumble lube boolit.
First 2 shots from sandbag rest hit my 8x10 steel target at 50 yards.
After that they were all over the place. Barrel was smeared but most
of it came out with a dry patch.
Same thing with my Redhawk, 225gn gc swc without gc, normally accurate.
Will try again, maybe the JPW got scraped off while seating?
Both loads were between medium and hot (below max).
