An order from Grafs and sons just arrived with 500rds of .38 bullets for reloading. These look different instead of the usual cast lead with the lube in a groove, these are completely covered in a black sticky substance. I've never used anything like these do you load them up like regular lube-grooves?
 
This prompted me to dash to my cabinet and dig out some Remington 455250HB bullets I received from Buffalo Arms (for the .45 Long Colt). They sport the same lubricant as described: sort of a powdery, black graphite substance. It does come off on one's fingers in small amounts during handling. A box of factory loaded Remington cartridges with the same bullet shows the same substance on that bullet.

Load 'em 'n' shoot 'em!
