Been reading about how Brad wet tumbles his bullets with Moly and with others, Hbn goes on dry. I was wondering if anyone else has tried putting on Hbn wet like Brad does Moly?
I ran some bullets through the tumbler with Hbn wet and then a final short tumble in a caranuba car wash/wax for a thin wax coating. Used an old grape jelly jar (plastic) wrapped in a towel(quieter), for a few hours, rinsed the bullets, then to the wash/wax then final rinse and dry
Kind of like when I tumble brass with the dawn/lemishine/wash-wax combo, which seems to leave a light wax coating on the brass.
Bullets were a bit harder to handle as they seemed a bit more slippery and it seemed that the force needed to seat a bullet was less than an untreated bullet.
Might try and go to the range today and see how things work, but depends on how bad the wind might be blowing
