Hello All!
Ive got a question on the lee lube groove style bullets.
up until now i didn't notice that's all i had, but im interested in Lee #90457
it has a single lube groove. can i still use my tumble lube system or do i have to go out and get a RCBS lube system to squeeze the cast lube in there?

I apologize if this has been asked 100X before

*add* This is for 9mm, SR9 .356 dia

Yes, I've used LLA in single groove. I can't tell any difference in accuracy.

I've never used a tumble lube design. Always tumbled normal lube groove boolits.

glad to hear i can use my mold choice, i noticed the 9mm micro groves to not shoot very well or seat even in my sr9 im hompiong that the 1 groove will do better.

You can tumble lube any bullet:

Here is a list of 70 loads with 17 different bullets.

I have personally tested every one of these.

Thanks williamwaco. It's refreshing to see unbiased reports about any Lee product. Haven't read your test in much detail yet, but I've book marked it and will study it when I have more time...
