Well I haven't done any lubing yet. I've been having to buy cast boolits. I've got my smelter ready to start but I don't know what I'm doing enough yet to trust myself lol. I also just found a scrap yard for lead finally. I haven't even bought a mold yet so I'm a bit premature I guess.
Ive stayed away from lube sizers for now. Need to read and learn more about them. Ive been casting the TL boolits for a while and seem to have good results. I have used another Lee mold that I have and tried the pan lube method. It worked ok but just takes too much time that I dont have right now. For me its easier to just order the Bayou Bullets and use them. I can never get enough cash togather to buy a sizer and dies. Maybe one day I will buy a lube sizer but its not in any near plans.
I'm casting and sizing with Lee push through sizer, I'm actually running each bullet through the sizer twice, first to size and put on gas check, second trip to remove excess lube.
Time for me is not an issue, I have hours to fill.
Once I got my lube right everything started working.
Just getting started myself. I was thinking starting out with the Lee sizers, but if money wasn't so tight, I would go with the RCBS for their customer service. Probabl start with sizers in .314, .430, and .459.
I only tumble lube and don't foresee my going to a lubrisizer as what I do now works well for me.
