How long or quick

Is there any majic time to wait after you mold your boolits before you lube and size em'?

they harden up pretty quickly for the first 10 days or so.
some of them i size same day [going from 455 to 452 they size back up to 453]
others don't really matter as i size them more to put lube on them and not squeeze them down.
others i size to add more bearing length then lube later,same boolit for another rifle i size after lubing.
so it just depends on what you re trying to accomplish with your sizing,and what you size with.

I try to cast in the morning and size and lub in the afternoon or evening. That failing, I want to get them sized within the first two days for sure. The exceptions are those boolits that I will shoot "as cast" and will lube with mule snot.

Cast in the afternoon. If I have it in me, size that night, or the next day or two. I have waited as long as 3 months without any noticed difference then sizing the same day. I think that 1 or 2 over in the end allows the barrel to do the sizing.
