I started out dipping the entire bullet for expediency sake. Other than lube on the target, I saw no accuracy effects. I made a dipping tool (out of a 50 AE case) because fully lubed rounds were more prone to pick up dirt, etc. and that seemed wrong.
Anyway, a side by side accuracy test would seem to be in order.
For the sake of science, of course.
