I was looking at the 50 Alaskan bullet forming and ran across a post. Preaty much to lube his bullets he took a case and opened it up a bit in order to go around the boolit. he melted his lube in a pan placed the boolit in the pan right side up, let the lube cool down and used the case to cut the boolit out of the lube. I would think that he drilled the primer pocket out in order to punch the boolit out. Sounds like a good way to do your lubing to me.

I made a lot of brass tubes, different calibers, some with nice wood handles with a hole out the top. Boolits just keep going through the tube and out the top.

Thet was the early rendition of Lee's pan lube process only used an aluminum 'cookie' cutter. You'll see'um on ebay ~ in fact, picked one up for 45 cal just last week. Oft times there's complete kits avail w/lube & pan and cutter available.

Been doing it for ever seems like, use a fired case for the caliber outside chamfer the case mouth(makes a nice cutting edge) then cut off the head.
