Do I need to relube?

[hk940]

I purchased a large amount of .45 200gr. swc many years ago (don't ask) and just started to reload them, when I miked them I found they ranged from .452-.455.
They were coated with some kind of dry wax, I resized them all with the lee push resizer (.451) the question is do I need to re lube before reloading?

Hi hk940-- welcome to the Castboolits Forum!
Your question is a bit hard to answer, as you didn't tell us how much lube, if any, and where, is still on the resized boolits? If they have lube grooves and the resizing left them full of lube I'd go ahead and use them. If all the lube got stripped off, then yes, I think you'll need to apply more lube. We find pictures/photos very helpful.

The bullets were only covered with a type of dry wax, there was none in the lube groove. I will get some pix tomorrow.
I tried up up load some pictures but keep getting an error message.
I see a 10 meg limit but I only took two at 2.2 meg. I tried to drag and drop, but this window then dissapears.
The lube feels like silicon (slippery) but not moist or sticky.

I get an error if I try to upload any picture over 2 meg.

Tumble lube them with some of “Recluse’s 45/45/10” or “Ben’s Liquid Lube, BLL”. Do a search on this forum, you will find all the information that you need.

I recently came into a number of commercially lubed bullets as part of a trade. I’m gonna tumble lube them in my homemade 45/45/10.
