I have a recollection of someone using lube saturated felt. probably not a good idea in real hot weather unless you keep your preloaded fixed ammo in a cooler until immediately prior to use


I know of a guy who does that for shooting paper patched fixed ammunition.  He sandwiches the lubed felt wad between other wads to prevent the lube from contaminating the powder.  I have some lubricated felt wads but have not tried them.

In fixed BP 45-110 with paper patch bullets (PPB) I load a milk carton wad (MCW) on top of the compressed powder followed with a 0.300" thick disc of lube (home made or commercial depending on what I have at hand) then another MCW and then a slip of wax paper to ensure nothing sticks to the bullet. Loaded in this manner I have never had a charge become fouled by the lube. Think sometime I will try loading the lube disc directly on the compressed powder. I am inclined to think the powder being like a hard pellet the lube will not penetrate. Will still need a wad on top though as I have recovered hollow-base PPBs with globs of lube stuck to the bottom. Previously thought the lube would be melted out but it didn't work out that way.

If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.
