I must start by admitting that when it comes to cast bullets, my knowledge is very limited. I have never cared for them. Having said that, I am about to shoot some 50 cal minie balls in my inline muzzleloader. Several people who I have talked to about them tell me to pack the hollow cavity with lube and do not put lube anywhere but in the cavity. None of them can tell my why to lube the minie ball that way. "Everyone has always done it that way," Is the answer I get. I am one of these people that have to know why I am doing something before I do it. Two questions. 1: Is this the proper way to lube a minie ball? 2: If so, why is it lubed differently than any other cast bullet I have ever seen?
Thanks in advance.
