A bit of lead after sizing?

[phaux]

I've started resizing with my lubrisizer and am having something weird happen... In the lube groove after it's been lubed/resized, there's a small ball of lead on every bullet it seems. I don't see any scratch marks. It goes in without one, comes out lubed with a tiny ball of lead embedded in the lube groove.. Ideas?

It might be a flashing around one of the lube holes in the die. (admittedly it shouldn't be there)

I had a similar problem with one of my dies (Magma); I melted off all the lube and wrapped a split dowel with crocus cloth. I polished up the ID a touch by hand, and when reinstalled the issue was gone.

My 2 cents

Pic?

I'm wondering if it couldn't perhaps be a shot-pellet that was poorly-crimped into the lube holes?

Definitely sounds like a burr on of the lube holes. I'd bet that this wasn't one of lathesmith's dies, 'cause all of his have been dead nuts perfect.

It is a Magma die. I'll pull it today and see if I cant find a burr on it. I don't believe it to be a piece of the lead shot plugging the wholes as I resizes about 100 boolits an they all had it

A picture would be great.
