Title says it all. I used a Lee APP press with the sizing die on the bottom with nose first sizing.
Some of the boolits size to .401 but I am getting .4015 even .402+ This my first casting & powder coating. All are from the same lead melt. I used 5lb Lyman#2, 5lb Linotype plus 2.5 lb pure lead. Used the "shake & bake" method for the powder coating using Eastwood Ruby Red & Ford Light Blue. I got great coverage and I quenched in water right out of the toaster oven.
I did note a very few boolits had the coating damaged during sizing that resulted in small chips of powder coat flaking off. I also discovered the underside of these flakes had a skin of lead. In other words the flake did bond to the lead properly I believe.
I attempted to resize but each round stayed the same.
Looking for more experienced counsel.
I see that NOE has dies that work with Lee. Are these more accurate? Common sense tells me if you force a softer material through a fixed diameter hole of a stronger material the resulting product will ALL be the same diameter.
Thanks in advance
