[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2377950, member: 116181"] Bullets made of a jacket over a lead core don't require cutting fluid as they aren't turned on a lathe, so there never is any oil inside the meplat like there is in the nose of a Hammer where it has to be cut out. The oil that is on bulk manufactured bullets is washed off after they come off the presses. The monos from Barnes, etc, are most likely cleaned in a similar manner before packing and that removes the fluid. Hornady A-Tips are sequentially packed off the press, and they come with a Crown Royal-like polishing bag to remove residual oil. Not nearly as coated as Hammers, but still there is some on them. Just not IN them. [/QUOTE]
