What lube for slugs

[R_M_F]

Having watched Matt Dubber's Youtube on the slug liner for FX and him mentioning lubing the slugs for better results, I wondered if anyone had any advice, opinions or discoveries on what is a good lube to try? I have some "WD40 brand specialist silicone spray" and some "DuPont Teflon non stick dry film aerosol" as well, would someone have any input on one of those being a good option or not, before I send them down the barrel and mess something up in there. Rifle is a FX Crown with the 600mm slug liner in .25 for added info. Thanks, Bob.

Never use anything petroleum based or you risk diesling and potential damage to your gun.

I remember a few years ago trying lubes with a Marauder. I bought lubes made to do it with and I think it was something called Napier Pellet Lube.

D-Rig (slug maker) told me that he uses Slick 50 when he makes the slugs and highly recommends using it to lube for shooting as well. If you buy his particular brand of slug, there will already be some minor left over lubrication from manufacture.

I knew there was some kind of light lube on them but didn't know what...thanks for that info! I'm wondering if maybe thats what I need to try on the stash of Nielsen slugs I have. Not quite as accurate as VKs in factory form. They also chamber a little harder.

I use 2 drops of silicone oil for a pack of 100 slugs.

From what I have read silicon lubricant is not good for metal-to-metal contacts so I use Dupont Krytox GPL 103 oil. Fully synthetic, safe for O rings.
