I want to cast now, figure I can spend less time at the bar and more time breathing lead vapor.
I don't mind spending $ to get a quality product, the thing that kills me is all the majors have their own system and style of lube sizers.
Let me preface, I just want to cast in bulk and have some fun in the desert.
Take the Lee sizer/luber, doesnt have a top punch? Eeasy one crank and blammo you have a lubed/sized bullet? Does this work well enough? How can they get away with a different system? Do you have to use Alox?
RCBS and Lyman have similiar yet different systems.
If you had to choose (I am open to others as well), What system would you get if you had say 300 +/- 100 bones for a lube sizer and EASE of use?
What REALLY are the differences in heated lube vs cold lube? Tumble lube? I have seen so many youtube videos on gents making their own etc, and pouring in lube into a pan with bullets up to their necks, yet only to pry them out.
Thank you and Take care,
