from an old geezer trying to catch up in casting.
I cast some .30 cal bullets and used Lee Alox lube. I then ran them through a Lee sizing die to seat the gas check. Of course the lube was removed from the driving bands so I wondered should I put more alox on them?
Years back, when I cast bullets I had a Lyman sizer but it's been long gone so I thought I'd try the Lee sizer. I like the fact that it pushes the bullet from the base and not the nose but I also like to see the grooves filled with lubricant from the old way. Another reason I didn't like the Lyman sizer was that every so often I'd get a glob of lube under a bullet and would have to clean it out. Was this because I didn't use a heater on the sizer?
If I bought another sizer which one would you guys recommend? I'll admit that when I see the beautiful bullets with blue lube in the grooves I get moist just looking at them.
