I'm using the RCBS lubsizer and have it adjusted to the minimum but still getting lube up on the nose when sizing? Was hoping someone may have some tribal knowledge on this little gem.

on a second thought I was wondering if I could just TL them?

I shoot that Boolit a lot, always TL or powder coated.

I also TL (Tumble Lube) the Lee 105 grain SWC.

Lee 358-105-SWC, TL'd in 45-45-10 below.

You can easily tumble lube the 105-SWC boolit as well.
I do it often, and have had no problems or complaints with it.

im not much on tumble lube but do use it a lot with that bullet. I cast up a coffee can of them and tumble lube them and shoot em up. I don't like loading ammo much ahead of time with tl though as ive seen it deaden powder. In my guns the tl bullets seem to shoot as well as the sized and lubed bullets from my star.

Stick a wadcutter between the sliding insert in the die and the blued punch under the die.

The only two way i was able to solve the lube on nose with this bullet.

#1 Buy a Star sizer. They lube and size nice and clean.

Other than that. Powder coat a whole bucket full.

I must be the odd man out, never had a problem with lube leak when lube sizing the 105 with my lyman 450, and I've run 1000's of them through it.
