Default SPG lube

Has anyone had any experience using SPG bullet lube with smokeless powder? I must buy commercial bullets since I don't cast and have no facility to do so. I load .45 Colt (among others) and occasionally shoot black powder. There are some bullets out there I'd like to try that are available lubed with SPG only. It would be very convenient to use one lot of bullets for both black and smokeless.

It will work fine for any sane smokeless loads.

I have fired many 38sp and 45acp moderate loads with spg. It seams to be a little smokey but reduced leading from the harder lubes I have used.

Thanks, Mack. I believe I'll try a small lot and see how it goes in my revolvers (Colt SAA and a clone from EMF/Uberti). Interestingly, or perhaps not, the SAA wants .454 but the EMF is OK with .452.

Forgot to mention if you use a heater on your lubesizer be careful not to over heat the lube as it will become hard to deal with.
