Did you still put lube in the grooves?

Yes, I am also interested in your answer to this, Smoke. Still lubed?

I have 9 different colors on the way from you, :-) 2 sample packs of 4 colors each, and a pound of gloss black. I cast R.E.A.L. boolits in 2 different weights of 50 cal for a Scout 50 with a 20" Twist, and a CVA Electra (FUN!!)

Also, would you"scratch" or "engrave" the ridges at 90 degrees with a knife point to allow air to escape when loading an Electra? The chamber is non vented and rumor has it that a boolit *might* unseat itself a small amount due to unescaped air pressure. I do that with pure lead REALs...just to be safe.
