Greetings,
The Speer bullets with the new dry lube shoot very clean.
The lube keeps the bullet from sticking in the swage die and after sizing, loading, and shooting, the barrel stays quite clean.
Several of us are shooting these modified bullets with excellent results.
Cheers,
Dave
Are you .32 shooters playing with these?

Re: Are you .32 shooters playing with these?
Does the lube survive the swaging process? Or do you re-lube them afterwards?
I cannot answer for “swaging up” but sizing down from .313” to .311” does not appear to alter the Alox coating at all. However I still re lube to be on the safe side.
My feelings are that swaging up should have even less effect on lube than downsizing.
Having said that I look forward to hearing from Dave regarding his experience.

G'Day deadeyedick,
A randomly selected Speer Plinker is 0.545" overall length.
My "bumped" bullet measures 0.580" overall. The dimension from the base to the shoulder measures 0.535". The "bumped" version has a dome on the nose end of the bullet with about a 0.040" flat shoulder.
As I mentioned earlier, I copied the successful H&N profile.
One can Monkey about with the nose and base profiles to bring about different lengths.
The image attached is fired at 50 yards from a factory Pardini HP barrel held in a mechanical fixture using "bumped" Plinkers.
Cheers,
Dave
G’day Dave......Nice work !

Here is a pic of the H&N and the "bumped" Speer.
The one on the right was as I was adjusting the tool.

Thanks Greg. Now I am really intrigued...how did you get what appears to be lube grooves, and did you put them through a lubrisizer ?

The ones with the grooves are the N&N for comparison.deadeyedick wrote:Thanks Greg. Now I am really intrigued...how did you get what appears to be lube grooves, and did you put them through a lubrisizer ?

Thanks j-team. You can see I am not very observant today.
