I was thinking the softer lube would be better for the slower boolits, and the harder lube, heating up from faster velocities, would melt out of the grooves.

A soft lube like NRA Alox-50/50 and others will not melt out of the bullet and deposit in the barrel when fired. If one looks at recovered lead bullets from handguns fired into water or snow (to keep the lube from heating up and running out of the bullet
after firing , the bullet
is hot after firing), one will find that the lube has not melted...still intact in the lube grooves. Your theory about the lube melting when firing to coat the bore, must not be what happens.
