I am acquiring hand tools to load .480 Ruger cartridges.
1. What sizing die for hard cast bullets will function satisfactorily in a Lee Hand Press?
2. Which sizing die that functions per #1 deforms bullets least during the sizing? How do I assure that the sized bullet -- that is, the die's I.D. -- is correct for my Super Redhawks?
3. Please identify lubricants that can be used during the sizing process via the hand press. If the sizing is minimal or not needed, can lubricant be applied via the sizing operation anyway? Or would some sort of additional step to apply lubricant without using a lube-sizing die be a better solution?
