Tried pan lubing and had a flop or maybe the lube won't stick as good as it should.

Here is a method for those who don't have a lube sizer machine.. It works with most beeswax based lubes.

Try the "dipping method"
1) melt your lube and keep it melted
2) Heat your sized bullets to aprox 125-150 deg F
3) Dip each bullet to the last lube groove and wipe the base off on a paper towel and set them on wax paper. Tip= use a small needle nose pliers.
They will be ready to load just as soon as they cool.

The trick is to heat your bullets to the right temp....Too hot and all the lube runs off.....Too cool and you'll have too much lube stick to them... No I didn't invent the wheel here just a thread for information.
