I was casting a metric ton of H&G #51's and sizing/lubing them on the Star. Basically a year's worth for the 38's.
Over the years I have noticed that most, if not all, true Keith bullets seem to have a lube groove the size of the Panama Canal.
In contrast, I recently cast a bunch of Lee Group Buy 38 130gr gc bullets that has a very small lube groove, and a tiny space above the gas check for lube. I also have other bullets (9mm, 45acp, 380) that have comparatively small lube grooves.
I was just wondering - what is the determining factor in the width of the lube groove?
Keith seems to love them, others not so much.
Any thoughts?
