I had the same problem. Pull some sample bullets and mic the size. Even using the most minimal taper crimp still seems to change the bullet size. So , mic the pulled bullets and let us know what...

Finally made it to the range. I believe they shot even better than LLA.
Definately less smoke. I think during lubing, the warm-hot bullets allow for a thinner coat of lube. I might have been...

Still looking for a knock off recipe for LLA. Surely somebody has figured out what is in it.

Hey, Smokesahoy
If your not leading, I'd say your lube is working. Have you pulled a couple of bullets and see what they mic at. Might be a little smaller since crimping.
I have to agree that...

Until I can make LLA, I Decided to try again to Use up some of this Ben's Red. You can Melt the Ben's , and add Mineral Spirits Like you would 45/45/10. , Or Ben's/Red/10 ...The trick is heating...

Still need a recipe for LLA. Surely somebody has figured out how to Duplicate it.

I've used 45-45-10 quite a bit but find I have finally run out of those little bottles of LLA. I've read quite a few recipes here and I assume most of them are for sizers and pan lubers. None have...

Going back to tumble lubing and 45/45/10 type lube. So how do I make Lee L Alox. and Or How can I convert Ben's Red to Tumble lube Mix. Pan lubing is not working out for me.
I tried hot tumble...

Dry Moly Spray is my helper for all my molds. Mini bread loaves, muffins, lee 1 lbs, etc. seems to work great for every thing. I am now spraying the bullets before going thru the Lee sizing dies. ...

I've used about everything for moulds. You can spray anything with dry moly lube, and it will release the lead. I have used alot of teflon coated as is and they work fine for years,.

Heard a new term the other day. Inert bulk filler. Don't know if it applies to your powder or not. I was using clays univrsal- light loads- 38 wadcutters, and I was seeing white flakes, on the...

Speed up your lee sizer. turn the press upside down and remount it.
then just drop your bullet in the hole. If you get real fast you will pinch your finger. that is where the extension tubes...

I rinsed some shells and then did a light sudsey wash and rinse with ZIP WAX. Seems to have made the shine last a lot longer. I'm going to continue doing this. Has anybody else tried this for...

I prelube with silicone spray. Does make sizing easier. And have a lot with no other use for it.
Just a final coat of LLA works for me.

Had to stop at harbor freight and spotted the weed burners, 19.95. Been meaning to get one anyhow. Worked alot better than I Imagined. Shouldn't have put it off so long. Really shortens melt...

I Prelube with Silicone Aerosol spray ,( I have a lot that I don"t need.) ,. Also Like my dry teflon Motorcycle chain spray, I also use it for case lube. Then tumble lube after sizing.

I love Inguinety. I believe reloaders have more problem solving abilities than the other "normal" people at the range. And I thank all of you for the new ideas. It seems so simple now. ...

Just went thru the exact same thing. Your putting .357 bullets in .356 cases. the other replys were all right on que. Pull some of your bullets and see what they now measure. A possible quick...

Just start water dropping after a 20 year break in reloading. Don't like the water splashing up on the hot molds, etc. Tried dropping the bullets on a slide board into the bucket, about 45' degree...
