New to reloading, I've got a question about sizing my cast boolits.
I use straight WW, water quenched with a 40 Lee 6 cavity mold.
They are coming out at ~.404, which I've read is typical.
I've also got the Lee .401 push through sizer, and I'm using 40/40/10 LLA/JPW/MS for lube.
When sizing it looks like my groves are sheared off and I'm wondering if this is normal, also the sized boolits are coming out .399-.400.
Pictured is my second batch, my first batch I used straight LLA and when shooting I got some leading the last inch or so of my barrel. I did not relube after sizing with my first batch, but will try that with my second.
