I got into this casting my own late in life.
Been reloading since the 60s, but just started casting not long ago.
With my pension I keep things pretty low budget and so I have the Lee Lube and Sizing kits and they do a good job for me.
For some of my hotter stuff I like to make gas checked bullets, just wish the checks weren't getting so high, but oh well.
Anyway----
Setting the checks with the Lee tool is kind of a pain to get them started straight into the die.
I mount a spare bottom punch in my drill press and move the table up close.
I set the check and bullet on the table and a short stroke on the press handle seats those little buggers nice and tight and keeps them straight.
No banging with whatever to get them set.
Then I run them through the sizer.
It adds a step and takes a little more time, but hell, I ain't in that much of a hurry and it produces consistently good results.
All the bullets I use are FN, but I bet for pointed ones a suitable bullet seater out of a die set could be mounted to prevent damage to the tip.
