a while back i attempted to lube/size some 40's i casted up through my star. i wasnt getting consistant fill out and lube would be on the nose, or the base no matter how much i adjusted things. i wrote it off that its because im using a lee mold the the lube groove is pretty shallow after being sized. well, i now have a new NOE mold so that should fix the depth issue. last night i was at it for several hours only to have 5 bullets done correctly. im using air and heating the thing. the catch is... im doing nothing different than i did with my .45's and had ZERO issues then.
