The lees pushed with a little force with a light coat of PC. With the thick blue coating that literally looked like uneven, clumped powder on the REALS before baking seated with good force. I use the base of my palm to push the REALS down to get them started. After I feel two "clicks" (I'm guessing it's the rifling pushing through the lube grooves)the boolit stops about a quarter in or so from flush with the muzzel. I then have to use my ball starter with a good hit of the palm of my hand to get the boolit all the way into the barrel. Once it's all the way into the rifling I can see where the lead covered in blue PC pushed around the rifling when its all in the rifling. Then there is a decent amount of resistance all the way down till it stops on the powder charge.
I did try to use my ball starter right off the bat to seat my boolits but I had fliers VS starting them with the palm of my hand. I would assume the seater starts them crooked.
