I've read Recluse's excellent explanation of tumble lubing but I have a question:

Recluse's photo shows him tumble lubing boolits with those micro grooves. Can I tumble lube boolits with an ordinary lube grove?

Sure can, I do it all the time and it works just fine

What Jerry said! One thing to remember, don't put it on too heavy.

Have tumble lubed everything I have cast/shot so far. Works fine. I am now using homemade 45/45/10 lube and works great in 44 SPC/45 Colt/ACP under 1100 fps.

I thought so but I'm new to this and you know what happens when you ASSUME.

Yep I do it 45 colt, 45 acp, 308 win and my target loads for my 44. It's fast and no fuss. There is a guy on here that sells the stuff cheap if you run low. Don't remember who but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find out.

Yes you can. As previously stated it works fine. Use a LEE push though sizing die of appropriate size, and then lube with ALox.
