Lithium grease is a premium lubricant, not affected by the usual powder flame temperatures, and having a melting point well beyond anything seen in small arms ammunition. I can apply a thin film of lithium grease to bullets while watching the TV news, completing 500 or more within an hour.
mind a bit of leading with lead bullets, I just plan on dealing with it at the cleaning bench later on. Not the end of the world at all. Just a few more strokes with the proper tools to keep your pistol in prime condition.

Lithium grease is oil based. Since oil can seriously affect the powder burning I would guess this would be a bad practice.
I DO mind leading. ANY extra strokes are unwarranted in my mind.
With the proper lubrication, lead alloy, bullet diameter vs. the barrel, and bullet velocity there should be no leading.
