Lots of older military rifle-type ammo was sealed with an asphalt-base compound and these went down the bore just fine. If you want to remove it, lacquer thinner is pretty good at removing such substances and dries quickly without leaving a residue. MEK is very good at the job too. Be sure to use either one of these in a ventilated area.

Then soaked the 1st batch in mineral spirits over-nite and then ran them thru my case viber-ator. came out 92%clean. I'll have to get a cheep Lee 2 die set (F/L sizer and seater) and then load up for my Garand with 49gr IMR4895. These projectiles are Israli 151gr. APs and I'd never seen projetiles with 2 canelurs.
