The results from Cutting Edge copper solid 190gr lubed with Lee liquid Alox are encouraging. TLDR: no more low velocity fliers. My theory is that the lubricant prevents galling or wear products from causing transient increases in barrel friction. An added bonus to using the lacquer-like lubricant it likely makes the loaded rounds more waterproof (I also use primer sealant).
(Use load data at your own risk. Work up to any load carefully.)
8.6g 800-X (slightly compressed load)
CCI LPM primers (based on previous tests, I expect similar velocity from non-magnum primers)
Starline brass
Bullets seated so the last ring is just visible above the rim. COL: 1.240"
Average: 1158fps (sd 11)

The bullets are highly uniform in dimension. Every one I measured was identical to 0.0001".
The front ring measures 0.4005"

The rest of the bullet rings measure 0.3990"
