Bullet coating?

[Gunlaker]

Doug i would definitely advise staying away from home brew lubes. There is a lot to learn getting these rifles to shoot well, and starting with a proven lube will shorten the learning curve. Once yo have everything working really really well then you might get something from a different lube, but probably not.

Have you tried to chamber those bullets unsized? My Shiloh's work pretty well with as cast Saeco bullets.

Happy shooting!

Chris.
