Hello all,
As the title says, I am going to be forming 50 Alaskin to 50-95.
First time at re-forming anything.
Threads say it's not bad, just run the 50 Alaskin thru the 50-95 sizer.
It doesn't look to be much smooshing.
Regular sizing lube or a special forming lube ?
Any other words of wisdom ??
Thanks
Ross

If you're gonna be stupid, don't pull up short. Saddle up and ride it all the way in.
Trim to length, (they will probably shorten a bit when you fire form). Lube your cases and run them through your sizing die. pretty much it. I use lee case lube or Hornady ultimate lube.

I cut cases a touch long and chamfer and deburr , then size in dies then trim to length , chamfer and deburr again , and load after seating my bullets the case looks straight upon firing it has a nice shoulder again .
I bought a harbor freight cut off saw small one and swapped out the metal blade with teeth for a cutting disk .
I'd use Imperial Sizing Wax.
If you are going to make a hole in something. MAKE IT A BIG ONE!
+1 on the Imperial Was or the Royal version from Brownells. Easy to wipe off with a rag when you are done sizing. Not so with the oil, it has to be washed/tumbled off. james
