I don't either, maybe it was removed?

Perfectly lubed.... with my Ideal #1.

Nice boolit Beagle but no powder coating.

Nice boolit Beagle but no powder coating.

Yeah, I already did one on the powdercoating. I do lube quite a few with my Ideal #1 sizers too. I love those old things. :D

Nothing is wrong, that's how it always looks. I can't stand a messy work area. It ends up that way when working but is always cleaned up at the end.

TodR,
Welcome aboard !
I'm not aware of a Lee 243 mold ?
Just curious...
Are these NOE 245-105 FN that were tumbled in Lee liquid Alox ?

Anyway, they look pretty good...Did you size them ?
AND, when you shoot them, I hope you take the time to post some results on one of the threads that talk about this NOE mold (assuming it is?)
Good Luck,
Jon

I'm a smarter man than that! I'd probably get killed in my sleep if I used her crock pot! I bought that one at a second hand store and it's used just for making bullet lube.

Hi Jon,

The mold is an RCBS 243-095-SP. Lee reloading dies and sizer. I get MOA accuracy with 1:8 twist 243 barrel. Load is 18g IMR-4227. The only "secret" is that I rub a little moly grease on the bullets before shooting. No leading! Super accurate!!!
