NOE bushing die lube

[porthos]

might be sizing down, .001-.002; the nose riding section of a noe mold. nose is now .3035. what are my choices for lubing?? and next question. has anyone noticed any decrease in accuracy from using the bushing dies; especially the nose sizing die??

I like mine and if I am going to run through a lube sizer afterwards I use Hornady one shot to run them through the bushing. One thing I just found out is after a set of sizing get the bushing out as it is a pain in the butt after sitting inside it for a month to remove. If not using lube sizer I just use 45-45-10

All I did with the NOE nose sizer was got stuck boolits. Lube or not.

I spray a soft shop towel with my homebrewed alcohol/lanolin case lube and, after the alcohol has evaporated out, roll the boolit across it just like an old RCBS caselube pad. Haven't had a stuck boolit yet.

Same for me...

I use Dillon Case lube when the die is new die for the first few bullets. Since the bikers are coated w/ BLL no additional lube is needed after the first few.

I have had no issues after sizing w/ the bushings. I have not used the nose sizers so I can’t comment on them.

I have the NOE dies in about 2 dozen sizers.
If you're trying to size down .002 or more they can be hard to push though.
I sometimes use a flouro polymer sizing lube made by Hi-Tek coating. Here in Aus it comes in a concentrate and you mix about a teaspoon in 1 litre bottle of denatured alcohol. It doesn't need much and it works great for it's intended purpose and as a press ram lube.

The geometry of the press linkage makes a huge difference. The NOE die places the sizer in the middle of the stroke where there is often less leverage available. I have found the Lee Breech Lock challenger works best with the NOE sizer. I have had bullets which i struggled to size in a RockChucker & T7 and yet the Lee Challenger breezes through due to it's long handle stroke.

I run the NOE sizing system with the sized holder upside down and the bushing in the "wrong" end
It works well using a smear of Lyman lube to hold in the bushing

I've used the NOE sizers to run .375 jacketed bullets through a. 368 die to make .369 bullets for my 9.3x57mm that has an oversized barrel. I used Imperial sizing die wax. Also I polished the inside of the dies with some 600 grit and a slotted dowl.
