I found some 7mm and .41 bullets in Speer bullet boxes. These 7 mm and .41 cast bullets have gas checks and are lubed with Lee Alox bullet lube. They have to be at least 25 yrs old and look dirty. Should I melt them down or would they be loadable? They seem to still be sticky, is that common with Lee Alox?
What is the opinion on the best way to lube, lube/sizer, Alox, or powder coat.
I am trying spraying bullets with my lanolin/alcohol case sizing mix. Then sizing and washing the bullets. Let them dry and run them through the NOE sizing die again putting on the gas checks. After that I powder coat and maybe resize them if they are too fat.
I have an RCBS lube/sizer, but have not used it yet. Time wise that might be the quicker way to lube and size, but which are the better bullets? lube/sized, Lee Alox (and having sticky bullets), or powder coating?
