Guys,
I know this is probably out there somewhere, but I can't find a thread on it.
I have been casting 9mm in lee 356-125-2r with one lube grove for 30 plus years, and lubing in RCBS luber sizer. Last year I did some tumble lubing of 3030 with a lee sizer after tumble lubing, and I really liked it.
I lubed, sized with gascheck, and lubed again then loaded. Worked excellent.
Way faster than RCBS...so wanted to try 9mm in same manner.
My question --
I have a .357 lee tumble lube die and lee alox and I just tumble lubed some and let dry over night.
I then sized to .357.
The lube grove is full, just like it would be from the RCBS. Lee says to size and lube again then load.
(I did that on the 3030). Since the bullet looks the same as from out of the RCBS I question do I need to lube again?
I guess I can run some tests, but it is winter, and I won't most likely do much shooting til spring and hate to wait that long.
Any thoughts?
thanks all.....
Ron
