Sizing the Cruise missle (.268)

[jonk]

For those of you who have the 'cruise missle' 6.5 175 gr mold from Midsouth, how do you all size it? Did you have to order a custom Lee sizer, or? It drops nominally at .268."

Didn't size. Shot as is!

[jonk]

What did you do, tumble lube? Did you attach a gas check?

[mooman76]

My mistake. I thought I didn't size but after checking I sized to .266. it should be correct for my gun that slugged to .265. I did order a custom Lee sizer but that was before I got my Lyman 450 luber. They dropped at .269 with WW from my mould. I didn't check them and used Rooser red. They didn't shoot great but I have not had time to work some more loads. There was no leading issue though. I was thinking of reaming out the check area of the mould so I could shoot better without checks. I was also going to try some tumble lube to see how it performs.
