I have a star lube/sizer that pushes straight through.
I sized a bunch of 300gr FP bullets with Gas Check for use in a 454.
It was unusually difficult to size these. Bent the handle on my press.
It turns out the problem was the Gas check needing lube. I started running them through more than once and that made it much easier. The die would have a little lube and that made sizing much less effort.
My question, it that a problem running a bullet through the sizer more than once? Specifically each went through 3 times. All still measure .452
I was concerned about work softening of the material.
