I cast today and wanted to lube right away. Boolits out of the cold water and dried. I smear Felix in by hand and run through Lee dies but as soon as the lube hit the boolit---instant hard lockup.
I solved it by getting out my little heat gun and just warming the boolits.
Then I kept getting dog hair all over and it sticks to fingers, etc. I got more hair off the rag.
Then the Lee 310 gr is too small as usual, they fall into checks. Another job I let slip by. I also want to take them to .432". I set them all into checks to sit a week to see if they expand a little. Just letting them sit today had them expand from .430" to .431". Checks still super loose.
I did get a pile of .500 JRH boolits done.
I took 1# of the stereo lead and added to a 20# pot of WW lead to see what it is going to do.
