Okay, so I'm mildly OCD with my reloading stuff. (raise your hand if you can relate) I'm finally settling into a bullet that my .30-06 likes, and that's the Lyman 311299 with .301-.302" nose and .310-.3105 driving bands. I have a Lyman 4500 lubesizer with a .310" die that I've been using for my .30 cal boolits. I've heard that the base-down way of sizing can adversely affect the concentricity of the finished product and that nose-first sizers are superior in this department. However, I can't afford nor justify the expense of a Star sizer, so I'm left with the Lee sizer as an alternative, which is fine, I use a .359" Lee to size some of my .359" boolits w/TL design from Ranch Dog. How many of you have experienced bad results from sizing with the Lyman 4500 in terms of concentricity or the boolit entering the die less that dead straight? I'm contemplating buying a Lee .310" sizing kit and a Lyman .311" die so that I can size in the Lee and lube in the Lyman. I know it's an extra step, but if it eliminates a variable in the accuracy department I'm all for it. What say you more experienced casters? I have a couple decades of handloading under my belt, but the casting thing is only a couple of years old and I didn't do much last year as I was finishing my seminary studies. Now I'm in first call and I have a paycheck, wife is working full-time, kids are in school, and I have more free time than I have in about a decade. I want to get this right, because I also have more time to dedicate to filling the freezer, which is why I hunt, but I normally have to do it quickly in one weekend for each season. I have a little more time to pick shots and distance and would like to take a couple of deer with cast boolits in my .30-06 next fall with an HP'd 311299 boolit. I've taken lots of deer with cast boolits out of my pistols in Iowa, but the rifle thing holds some appeal for me. So, long story, short question, what would you do?
