[QUOTE="bpcrshooter, post: 2096307, member: 100251"] That blue ring is lube, most likely Thompson's blue angel lube. It a hard lube 80% designed to stay in place during shipping 20% to actually lube your barrel. IMHO, its junk! There are way better lubes out there but you would have to either buy or make them. Then there is the lubersizer to apply said lube, unless you do it by hand but, that would be ridiculous. The coating route is a good way to go too, its not as traditional but it does work. If you start making your own bullets you can make them softer, like 30-1 and then coat them for hunting purposes. Paper patching is another route you can take, there are 3 different styles to choose from, Bore dia, groove dia and dual dia. There is a bit of work to get all the components for PPing bullets but they sure are cool looking!! I use the DDPP bullets for my Shiloh and shoot 1k with them, there is a reason behind bullets design. Ebay has a few sets of dies available, I have the RCBS and Lyman ones both work well. matt [/QUOTE]
