I cast about 2500 H&G #51's over the last week in the evenings.
Lots of lead was changed from ingot form to bullet form.
I just sized and lubed 1000 of those in about 2 hours, taking my time and used 2 1/2 sticks of Magma Red. The 51's have a lube groove the size of the Panama Canal.
Another 1500 to go.
I will load 38 specials w/ 4.0 gr WW231 for about a year's supply of 38's.
I cannot fathom doing this any other way.
Next up H&G #503's.
How on earth can people size and lube without a Star?
