[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3066443, member: 41653"] swampratt - you took Lee alox to 1900 fps ? Wow ! I've never tried pushing anything that hard with Alox. I can easily get to 1200 fps in my SBH, never gone above it. I'm checking, sizing, and lubing the 358156 now, using aluminum checks, and RandyRat's TAC (or is it Tac-X ?) lube. No leading in a checked .357 to ~1300 fps with that lube. Maybe I need to try the BLL, or 45-45-10, just to give it a whirl. Tumble-lubing is far easier than individually picking up each and every single freakin' projectile. Pick up a fiddly gas check. snap it on the bottom of the bullet. Set it in the lube/sizer, pull the lever. tighten lube feed screw. Check to see if the groove is full. Spin bullet 90°. Pull lever again. pick up bullet. wipe bottom of excess lube. [/QUOTE]
