When do you lube?

[Chris C]

I pan lube my bullets. In the past I bought commercial bullets, sized for my needs, and melted the lube out of the grooves and pan-lubed my own recipe. I just started casting today and will have to size my bullets. So I'm curious, am I supposed to lube before or after sizing? (I think the answer is before, but I still have to ask.):wink:

Pan lube your boolits, cut them out of the lube cake, then run through sizer. Load, shoot, repeat.

Yep, done it this way fer mebbe 19 years. Never got around to buying a lubersizer and my Lee sizer dies work quite well with plain lead and PCed bullets (and I even resized a few jacketed bullets too!)
