Default Unconventional bullet lubes

Just out of curiosity, I’ve been wondering what is the hottest experimental cast bullet lube used or you find gentleman here?

The reason for this inquiry is because I’m looking for a 22 long rifle lubricant for a very low speed monolithic bullet. Any suggestions would be great.

Why would you want lube on a monolithic bullet ?

Hi Bill,

Three reasons

Subsonic velocities are the name of the game here.

The metals to be used are non toxic compounds like Nickel silver, bismuth and two others made from solder alloys. Two common copper alloys and a Delran option.

I’d like to keep from metal fowling the bore because I might have a problem getting them cleaned afterwards.
This is a side project for work, and we need a subsonic.22 LR that is lead free.

I have reloading equipment and some load data for this in a very unique format ( 0.2 cc of powder y, 0.15 cc of powder x) But getting one of these non lead bullets stuck in a bore is not something I want to risk in the process.
