Did it year ago. It made a difference for the better. Preperation H, bees wax, couple others too. Worked on bulk ammo. Actually seemed to help for a couple non lubed bullets afterward too.
Something else that I remember made a difference, it was Paco Kelly's accurizer or something to that effect. It's a swaging tool that allows you to modify the outside diameter of the projectile and also change the shape of the tip. I went looking for targets that I saved back in 2011 and there was one that I tested in particular that shrank the group with bulk ammo down to less than 1/4 of an inch at 25 yd when it was over 1-in when I started
I ran a test like this many years ago...I think it was in the 90's, but possibly early 2k's, but I used Alox for the lube. I've always wanted to retry the test with Alox and rolling in graphite and or mica after drying to prevent grit pickup.
In the Airgun world shooting both pellets and cast bullets we have been experimenting for years with different lube's. Two that stand out is 10 to 15 wt liquid silicone oil designed for RC shocks. The other is finish line dry lube for pellets. it is a higher end dry lube for bicycle chain use. It is very popular in field target shooting to get more consistent groups. For the slug's I cast, using the silicone oil not only is more accurate, but prevents fouling of the bore for a much-much longer period of time. KnifeMaker
The lubrication also helps in minimizing fowling. Lead bullets don’t tolerate a lot of heat before they start to deform and I think the wax helps with the temps. I am not an engineer by any stretch of the imagination but we all know that lead is softer than some other metals. Good video really enjoyed it. That’s a very nice setup you have there.👍🏽
@ That’s the way to find the right ammo. I have been fortunate with Norma TAC22 lately at 50 yards with different rifles. I found a brick at my local store for a very good price.
@@Jdelta22nc I have a 10 month wait on getting my gun in for lot testing. Has been hit and miss. SK RM shoots well out to about 150 yards then it falls apart for me. I hate spending crap ton on ammo to find it just not work. Picked up some Center X a few weeks ago. Was expensive with shipping it Shot like crap CCI Blazzer shot better than the 2 lots. So the bulk ammo test are fun to see shoot good. Any trigger time is good practice.
@ I hear you! I buy 1 or 2 boxes when I can then test, if it works then I buy more. Shipping keeps getting higher and higher. I have been fortunate to have more than a couple of 22s so if one don’t like that ammo another one will.
I’ve done this with Hoppes #9. Just dip the tip of the proj into the Hoppes, not too much, chamber and fire immediately. Messy, but you will see tighter groups.
Great idea thanks for video. although the 50 yard showed promise it went away at the 100 yard. I'm thinking a lube that is much thinner viscosity like cooking oil possibly.
That rifle shoots CCI like Match ammo! What in the world is this proprietary blend of secret herbs and spices. How do I get my hands on the recipe 🤔 My new rifle seems to like CCI SV but maybe not that much!😅
I actually had this exact same idea 😮 I got some lube to try this also! Wish I could get ahold of the SK lube they use 😂 Looks like there is something to this 😮
All .22lr are lubed. Some are waxy. Some feel dry and some are oily. Leave them alone. Anyone who wipes them off or tries adding a line are messing things up. These manufacturers have found their secret sauce that works. CCI’s are lubed. It’s just a dry lube. Not one .22lr maker in the world makes .22lr ammo that is not lubes. Your holding is shaky and your not holding each one is the exact same place. You need to work on your shooting. Way too fast between shots also.
Grab you a box of the new Remington plated subsonics. Dry as a bone and almost corroded looking the worse 22 ammunition I have ever shot. Huge extreme velocity spread sometimes 100 fps. Your statement that all are lubed should be quality 22lr are lubed or at least better 22lr. Don't confuse the "new" plated Remington subsonics with the original black coated lead version they sell.

Thanks it was fun to see. Have some other Worse ammos to try this test with now.... 🙂

How about Hornady one shot
I hope you do all this soon!

I use red grease it tightens up the groups pretty good !

Right down the rabbit hole! This looks like it will be my next experiment 🎯
That a pretty interesting experiment, positive results from what I see. May have to try this myself.
I was surprised. Definitly think it is worth some more investigation.
@@damingrail3655 Where do you get the lanolin?
@@Grumpyseabee22 Amazon. My case lube mix is one bottle (Red heat) The red 12 oz. bottles of heat is 99% Iso Propyl Alcohol to 1 oz of lanolin.

Good job.
That's food for thought
