first in another thread Fred(SSS)posted about chapstick as a sizing lube so i tried it..i normally use imperial wax...the chapstick works EXACTLY the same and the cherry flavor made my ammo smell nice.
second ive never used lock ease as a barrel lube(until today)but know a few guys that swear by it so i thought what the hell ill try it and see what all the fuss is about...now normally with my barrel cleaned to metal the first shot with a known bug hole load is 6" high and 4" left EVERY TIME...the second shot is 1" high and 1" left...the next 8 rounds are dead nuts if im on my game at 205yds...this was today at 205yds...cleaned to metal barrel with 1 patch of lock ease....scope is adjusted high for faster rounds being shot lately...these are the first 7 rounds fired out of a clean barrel just to foul the barrel as i was load testing today...load was 260rem,40.5g IMR4350 142g SMK seated .004 off lands,lapua brass.trimmed to 2.030,neck tension .002,CCI 200LR primer....first shot 2691..second shot 2702...third shot 2703..4th shot 2705...fifth shot 2710..sixth shot 2712...7th shot 2715...

now this was a load ive been looking for with the 140g hornady bullets and was pretty sure they would shoot well...1 and 2 shot to confirm 3-7 were shot with adjustments off a bipod and sock full of rice...
