My impression is that Hi-Tek coated bullets are harder to seat in new cases and are harder to size in push thru dies than tumble lubed bullets are. I did't have the foresight to buy a bottle of their sizing lube when I bought my Hi-Tek powder but I feel like I need to give them a spritz of something before I jam them thru the dies. Has anyone tried a light coat of something like 45-45-10?
Does the cured coating react with petroleum based lubes? I would hate to dissolve the coating away while they sit in the case because I tumble lubed them.
How about a diluted solution of the Lee resizing wax? I may give that a try. It works really well as a case sizing lube. Or wire pulling lube?
