[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2353470, member: 15054"] WOW! I mean for needing to lap the die that much. All my lee sizers are exact on the money. I did turn my .356 into a .357" and my .452" is now .4525" Just did that to fit my slugged barrels. I also tumble lube but now use Johnson paste wax with Lee alox..makes less sticky bullets. I also tried the 2x lubed and for my slow 45acp it is not needed or my under 1000 fps 357 mag it is not needed. I pick up the bullets and size them dry...Not really i have hornady unique case lube or imperial sizing die wax on my fingers. That speeds up my bullet making process. But my fast 357 and 30-30 get 2x lubed... Or 1x lubed + a 50/50 mix of wheel grease and candle wax. That lube is the most accurate for my fast gas checked stuff. MY 170gr 30-30 in cast moves just under 2000fps Nice pictures and write up Old Fart. Nice looking bullets..what was the mix? and mold? looks like they filled out nicely [/QUOTE]
