We did 2000 Lee 401-175-TC and 1400 Lee 452-200-RF
We weighed our take for the day and we went through about 100 lbs of lead.

was a good day, but now I have a lot of bullets to size and lube!

Are you sure they need to be sized??
lube, load, and shoot if they arent too big.

Size 'em.

You will ultimately regret it if you don't.

I have a lyman lubrisizer, so I may as well size em ;)

Size and lube enough for a test batch of each boolit you cast. You can always size them smaller if you need but going the other way is not so easy.

You also can load a few dummy rounds of unsized boolits and see if they chamber properly. If they do, a few test rounds using unsized boolits might be in order.

sounds like time for a Star sizer
