[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 1155539, member: 5655"] As bfoster stated, a bullet needs some sort of lube to slide down the barrel. In the black powder days, bullets were usually lubed with beeswax or something similar. In modern day the beeswax still works or some sort of mix with wax and alox. The commercial bullet casters use various products and some of those guys will probably chime in. With copper or jacketed bullets the copper itself is the lubricant so nothing additional is needed.
