I have been reloading for a few years now and would really like to get started casting by own bullets as well. This is just as much an extension of my reloading as it is to save money. I tried to go to castboolits.com, but I was unable to get to their site.
I am trying to get into this with a little cash outlay as possible while still buying decent equipment. I use and have been pleased with all of the Lee equipment I have used so far so I was looking at using their furnace, molds, etc. for most of this. When it comes to sizing and lubing, I do have a few questions though.
1- Is there a clear advantage to traditional lubing over tumble lubing? In other words do I really have to buy a $100 luber/sizer or will the $30 Lee sizer work if I just tumble lube?
2-Lee says that with their dies, sizing is not necessary, has this been ya'lls experience?
3-I want to use Keith-style wadcutters as much as possible. This seems to be the best multi-purpose bullet style available. Can these be tumble lubed?
Thanks,
W
