    This is also useful for the S&B.

    I always PC before I size. I’m always afraid the lube used for sizing, could hinder the PC from sticking correctly.

    ...afraid the lube used for sizing, could hinder the PC from sticking correctly.
    When sizing 45 rifle (.459-.460) bullets down to for pistol,
    - I'll (RSBS) lube/size down to .454 . . .
    - Boil them with a dash of dishwashing soap (2x) 30-secs
    - Rinse/boil (1X)
    - Dry.

    All told about ten minutes total.
    Works for S&B PC like a charm after that

    High humidity will also make it difficult to get the static charge built up for the powder coat to stick. Not usually a problem in the winter, but something to think about.

    I solved that for me. I don't lube them
