Lee "grooved" bullets
Anyone use the Lee "gooved" bullets w/ conventional hard/soft lubes? I wonder if they would foul less sort of like the micro grooves in the NF jacketed bullets?

I use 2 of the tumble lube pistol bullets with 50/50 Alox & bees wax lube ( soft )
Never had any problems with leading

Also my alloy is not that hard .
75% range lead 25% WW

I shoot the 230gr RN and the 200gr swc in my 45acp and have no leading issues using the liquid alox they send with it. No complaints.

I use it because I don't want to bother with lubrisizers and stick lubes. Each to his own. Cool

Some folks wipe it off the outside after loading. I don't bother, as it doesn't bother me.
