My recent bullets are "fat free" moly-coated. You think this might cause problems with pyrodex?RBHarter wrote:Your lube needs will be different with BP and subs . Olive oil and beeswax is the simplest to make and use. You can use it also for wad lube or pills. I've shot lots of C& B w/straight olive oil lube wads under the ball . The difference is 12 shots and shooting all day without cleaning.

Re: .38spl Pyrodex loads
Sorry I've been away a while .
The BP fouling needs to stay "wet" ,the goal of most of them is to keep the fouling soft so that some of it is pulled away with each shot fired. It also can help in revolvers to keep the cylinder turning freely. I don't think that a plain moly bullet lube will do the job. Presuming a lube grooved cast bullet you might get away with a vegetable or fat grease lube simply smeared into the grooves without any fuss or searching for other stuff with the winter months ahead it should work well enough.
