Lubing TCJ bullets?

#1 · March 21, 2009, 1:40 am

Is it necessary to lube total copper jackets (Ranier Ballistics, if it matters)?

After I spray the Dillon case lube, what process should be utilized to clean the case? Is it ok to tumble loaded ammo or just wipe off with rag? Do you even need to clean the case lubed with the Dillon case lube?

Thanks,

No need to lube the plated bullets.

We tumble the loaded ammo in plain corncob media for about 10-15 minutes. You may also wipe the rounds off, but the lube does need to be removed before shooting.

So I found out that you "can" tumble loaded ammo. The question remains is it even necessary to clean the cases after they are sprayed with the Dillon Case lube?
