I cast up about 6-700 pills from the new 314-120 Lee mould I just got through the group buy deal, and went to load some up in both 32 H&R Mag and 32-20, with black powder and soft lube, the past couple of days. Lubed them with my Star machine and couldn't get it to stop lube streaking on the nose of the bullet. Called Magma and they said either reduce pressure or locate the bullet higher or lower in the die. I tried both and nothing seems to stop the streaking. I've went one way on location adjustment till it stops lubing and the other way till it pushes a big gob out between bullets, but the streaking never entirely stops; it reduces but never stops and it's variable, you get heavy streaks one time and lighter streaks the next, without any change in adjustment. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm using a .313 die with all but the middle holes plugged and the bullets, before sizing, seem to measure .3135 to .314 with my 1" mic. When lubing .44's, it streaks but does stop with less pressure.
Thanks for any suggestions,
McLintock
