I purchased a box of Speer 44 Cal 240GR SWC. They do not have any lube on them. Would I expect to see a lot of leading in the barrel? If I can return them I might as the sales guy said they were lubed. Screwy Any comments/suggestions much appreciated. Worship

I would probably return them or swap them out for lubed bullets. You could lube them yourself, but you should get what you pay for. Just my 2 cents.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Shoot them and you will be scraping lead out of your barrel for weeks. I would return them.

Or....take this as an opportunity to get into bullet casting and making your own home lube Wink . I've been castig my own for quite some time and there are all kinds of home-brew bullet lube recipes out there.
