On the sbject of bullet lubes it came about on a rimfire BR session and the never ending search for accurate ammo I had some CCI green tag that has only a minimal amount of their own lube.
Mixed up a batch of Lee Alox and some turps to thin the mix at least 50% and with the tray of 100 rds come in makes the job less messy then dipping the rounds to just on the brass, allow to drip dry, store as usual.
The point being the CCI std vel stuff was only an average performer at best giving about 3/4" at 50 yds, but the same ammo with the different alox coating shrunk the groups to just over half of their stock lube coating.
Good chance different lube mix with your own recipe will change average ammo into good match or practice ammo, similar batches worked the same on HV ammo shrinking their grouping performance and works best on projectiles with external grooves in their sides, usually left empty, but filled up they do perform better.
