I had some really good tips in response to my earlier lament and here is "the rest of the story".
First I annealed a can of Hornady .30 checks, turned them ugly black! Them I rummaged around and found I owned a lee .311 sizer. Well, sizer it might be but better than that it is a check seater!
I lubed up a couple hundred boolits with liquid alox and ran them through the Lee, just to seat the checks.. Worked a wonder, it did! All I had to do was have the check south of the boolit and it went on neat as a pin! Then I ran them through the Lyman sizer nee luber to add some red angel and I am a happy boy tonight! Sure, it is an extra step but worth it to me.
Not sure how the annealing worked in this solution, surely didn't hurt any and didn't cost much!
Thanks for the help guys!
