I finally got around to testing my nanner puddin lube in a rifle. I posted targets and a description over at the other site, but I remember this thread and wanted to revisit. I haven't had a chance to chronograph yet, but I shot probably the best group my old 308 Mauser has ever produced using 16 grains of 300-MP and the Ed Harris Lee pointy nose bullet. Guesstimated velocity is around 1500 fps, assuming 300-MP burns slightly slower than 2400. I had never used this powder or bullet before, but I used this lube. Who knows which factor or factors caused it to perform so well, but I'm going to start testing a slightly faster load with the same bullet/lube every time I go to the range.
The bore looks great and accuracy was the best ever. It's supposed to drop below freezing here this weekend, so maybe I can find out how temperature sensitive it is.
