The oversize lube die design from Cajun Shooter and Lathesmith looks perfect for what I'm casting. The boolits I prefer...#429667 and the 200 and 250 grain 44 wadcutters from group buys have oversize lube grooves. The lube grooves on 429244 and 429215 are tiny in comparison. I appreciate the advice and emails.
Is there a difference in density(?) of the lube if it is applied cold as opposed to using the heater base? The lube is darker if heated. I had prefered not to use the heater when I was using GAR 50/50 (I miss those good people to buy from!) because it took awhile to bring up to heat or it got too messy...I like using the STAR (or my DILLON 550B) because you can accomplish a lot in a few minutes while waiting for the wife to do something/get ready to go out...but LARS' 50/50 doesn't seem to require as much time warming. Forgetting to turn off the heater can create a lovely mess underneath!
Thanks again guys

If the holes are lines up properly then the 3 regular holes work fine. If not then it can be hit and miss. I can lube this bullet with one pass, so I doubt anything you have holds more lube. It is all about getting them lined up properly for good flow, otherwise it is just squeaking in there instead of flowing easily.

Check is in the mail.
Hi Tom, that's no problem, I can fix you up. Just send me a PM (private message) with what you would like, and we'll get the details worked out.
Thanks,

Hi Chris! Got the 8mm dies and as usual they are a work of art! Thanks again and much appreciated!
Thanks Bob, I thought those did turn out rather well! I forgot to mention,I tossed in an extra punch, so you could play around with them and see which one you liked the best. Thanks again, and enjoy!

why not make a top punch that had a punch length with a shoulder. the punch length would put the lube groove of the boolit at the holes in the sizing die ?
threaded section with an under cut as it closes in on the step, .5 long .7 od step, punch just under boolit dia and just long enough that when the step stops on the top of the sizer, the boolit lube groove is at the holes in the sizer ??
screw it up against the ram body, when the .5x.7od hits the sizer, the linkage is aligned to actuate the lube pump....
a unique punch per boolit design instead of adjusting a universal punch.
yes no maybe ???/
i'm gonna build one unless someone can say why not......

only accurate rifles are interesting
I sent you a PM & email, Lathesmith. I got a Star sizer on order, and need dies.

I have been sizing 308 cast bullets to .299 for my 7.35 carcano for some time now. Lube and size to 308 and then push through tube that I taperd with taper drill.
Mike, as long as you have the lathe there handy, you should be able make the punch as suggested, that will work with one or maybe more slugs with a similar base thickness.
Got it Seth, thanks, check your pms.
Grasshopper, as mentioned I can make any size you need, odd sizes are not a problem.
