I'm a noob, have only cast .45 and 9mm using Lee molds and have tumble lubed with JPW with no problems. When I ordered my molds one was a 401-175-TC......but now I'm realizing it's not a tumble lube design and I don't have a lubrisizer and I can't see my self pan lubing 500 of these bullets...what should I do?

Try tumble lubing them any way.They should be ok.
Let us know how they work.
Good luck.

spur,
I have tumble lubed many thousands of non-tl boolits for both rifle and pistol.
They have all worked just fine. Some were sized with the Lee push through die, but most were lubed and shot without sizing.
My only complaint is having to wait for the lube to dry.

Yeah, tumble lube them. You can tumble lube any boolit. The TL boolits are just designed to hold the thinner TL better with the many small rigdes. Give em a try.

I have shot many thousands of that bullet, I use them as dropped, tumble lube with LLA.
