I bought some aluminum checks for pb bullets. I tried installing them on already sized and lubed bullets from an rcbs 250 gr. Keith style mold. They were sized to .430. I'm using the lee sizer. Running them through nose first, the sides of the check tear off and end up on the die punch. Running them through base first, they seat and crimp on tight, but aluminum smears over the lube groove. I've tried to lube the check with a lanolin based lube, but no change.
Has anyone figured this one out?
