I normally heat treat my bullets after they have been sized in my push through sizing die and the wife complains mightily about the smell of the sizing lube cooking off . After reading a post here about using wire pulling lube as bullet sizing lube, I tried it with great success, lubed great and no odor when heated. Buuutttt, after checking my sizing die after a couple of warm humid days, everywhere I had left the lube on the die it had rusted pretty badly. No pits, but not pretty. I used Ideal "Yellow 77" from Home Depot, other lubes might not be a problem. I have been using the same stuff as brass lube when FL sizing and have not observed a problem there other than it doesn't lube well after it dries.
