I am lazy. I size(if I size at all) before I lube. I usually coat fairly heavily with a single coat and let them dry. Sometimes it will take them 24 hour to dry enough for me to be comfortable loading them without worrying about causing problems with the powder charge. I never had a problem with it.
Nowadays I use White Label X-Lox. It is cheaper and very reliable. I buy it in the quart bottles. Sometimes, when I am in a hurry, I will put a fan on them and leave it there until they dry.
Most people will say I use too much.
Bigslug,
I'll borrow some of your technique. I never thought about starting with the hole nearest the handle.
I'll also rig up a support for the mold & disconnect the RCBS rod type deal. I usually "repurpose" a worn out axe handle or sledge handle section to move the sprue plate, but I might try a cushioned hammer.
Thanks,
Henry
Henry I use a rubber mallet. Works great and lasts forever.

I can't imagine trying to run a 10 cavity H&G mold. I couldn't use my Lee pot since I don't believe there is room in there for that big a mold.
I tried using a 6 cavity H&G for a time and the weight got tome very quickly. The boolits did shoot well though.
If you're lucky, that H&G #50 6 cav will drop those wadcutters at the right size and you won't have to use your Star at all.
Just tumble lube them and load 'em.
Your daughters are probably going to start shooting a bunch more ammo once they see how those WC's shoot.
Here's a good thread you should peruse if you haven't already.

With regards to gun control in this country, everyone should be asking themselves one question:
What is it that this government feels they need to do, but can't do, unless the citizens of this nation are first disarmed?
(I seriously doubt you can come up with any plausible answers that you will like...)
