I've got a pair of 6 cavity Lee molds, tumble lube and so far, just their hand sizer. I've only got a Lee 1000 press. Both the 125 gr 9mm 356 bullet and the .358" 150 gr bullet are pretty hard to mallet drive the bullet thru the .356 die. They shipped the press to me without the attachment for the handle. I"m working on getting the proper part. Lee seems inclined to do so for free. Also, a LOT of lead is displaced onto the base of the 150 gr .38 bullet after I size it with a mallet. Is there a way to mitigate that effect?
Does anyone know if the Lee press has enough leverage to hand size bullets thru the Lee hand sizer die? I detest using 2 cavity molds and Lyman's prices are sky high, anyway. Right now, end of May 2020, everything is out of stock/hard to get. I want to use the 125 gr bullet for wussy loads in my Sig pocket 9mm, like 800 fps,and the 150 gr in the Commander 9mm, 850 fps, to avoid fouling and keyholing. Any help is very much appreciated.
