Hello,
Wondering how you folks deal with the lube on the base of the boolits when pan lubing.
I've set up my newly-made cutter to be adjustable to the point that the boolit base sticks out a bit. This lets me wipe them off before dropping them.
I'm wondering if you folks do anything similar, or whether you even concern yourself with it?
I have two thoughts on the subject: First, if left in place, the lube may act as a gas-check of sorts and leave plenty of lube for the next boolit.
Second, if the gun gets too hot, the lube may melt and contaminate the powder.
What are your thoughts and methods?
Thanks,
Josh
