lubed bullets have been fired in rifle matches and never a
pressure problem reported. I have dipped hundreds of 303 Bullets
in axle grease to reduce bullet fouling, and reduce fouling it
did and my Enfield is doing just fine. as stated earlier,
British shooters were greasing their bullets for decades, as
they were buying the same sort of "never nickle" grease that
Americans had used before the Military banned the practice.
Hopefully the greased bullet discussion will be nearing an end,
but Hatcher’ Notebook and Townsend Whelen are the ground zero of
the concept that lubricated cases are dangerous.  Townsend
Whelen was in charge of the manufacture of the tin can
ammunition, and as a man who would not publically admit to
making a huge mistake, he spent the rest of his life
scapegoating grease and oil on cartridges. Gunwriters, who are
at best are Journalism majors, take this at face value
