    Lyman 356637 from hate to love

    When I first started casting, I saw this bullet and thought it would be great. I was highly disappointed when it dropped bullets at 157 grains. I was even more disappointed in what a pain in the butt it was when sizing and lubing it. Waxy lube would be all over the bezel base and would need to be wiped off.
    Then, I started powder coating. I now love this boolit! This is the main food for my Uzi. Put on top of 4.6 grains of Power Pistol, with a WSP primer, they launch right at 1090 fps with a standard deviation of 10. I load a touch longer than the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook suggests and seat to 1.1.
    Powder coating has really made this a wonderful boolit and now I appreciate the extra weight of 157 with my alloy, which is around 11 bhn.

    I had the same problem with my RCBS lube sizer and the Lyman HP. in 9mm. So, I tumble lubed them with BLL before and after sizing with a Lee .358 sizer. I haven't loaded any of them, I don't know how it's going to work.
