I agree, I first tried it last year. My spray lube & lube pad have not been used since.

I have had excellent results with the 311332, used this in a Ruger 77VT & a Savage Palma, it shot well in both.

I have a Lyman 45 I use exclusively for my 45/70 bullets. All others are put through my RCBS lube sizer.

Another vote for using the Lyman M die. :-)
I have had excellent results from my 457125 Lyman mold. I bought this used from a shooting buddy, it is date stamped 1977

I have about 200 lbs of what I was told is monotype. It is similar to linotype but just one letter in a larger format than linotype.

I have had very good results in my .308 ( Ruger 77 VT) with a Lyman 311332 & 311644 using 18.5 grs to 19.5 of IMR 4759.

I have been using the Lee Classic Turret press for about two years.
I can't say enough good things about this press. Primer & caliber changes are quick & easy. The only learning curve was with...

I have owned a RCBS tumbler for almost twenty years.
