I got to try out my Lee 2 cav 145g 40SW and 170g Lee TL 40SW 6 banger the other day. Dropped perfectly after cleaning and smoking with wood matches.
Put a thin coat of Rooster Lube on them and sized with a Lee sizer.
Sized .401 (I am glad, on account of me using a LW barrel that is finicky). Relubed with Rooster and let them sit for a few weeks.
Went to finally load them and the 145 g SWC weighed 160 g and the 170g Tl weighed 182 grains?!?!?
This is from straight WWs, water dropped.
Any help would be appreciated. I loaded up 30 of the 145g's (160g's) with 5.0g of W231 (between the 155 and 170 load data)
Why are they "obese"?

PS I weighed some of the non lubed boolits and they weighed maybe a few 10th s of a grain less...
My 230g TL .45ACP boolits weigh around 225-228g, btw...
