New member Intro and NLG bullet question

Hi everyone,

I’m a new member here, live in the Cincinnati area. I’ve been reloading 9mm for awhile with plated and jacketed bullets. I’m moving up to 45 acp now and was searching for bullets and made a bad purchase I think. Wideners had what they were describing as “mixed .451” bullets” the pic showed a mixed bag of plated and jacketed bullets. Well what showed up was 500 x 230gr uncoated lead NLG RN bullets.
My question is what do I need to do to use these things? I have no experience with lead bullets, how do I lube them? Can I tumble them with Alox or should I powder coat them?
I’ll be loading for plinking out of a full size Kimber 1911 which is brand new. I’ll be using HP-38 or TG powder if anyone has suggested data.

On the intro note, here’s a pic of my bench setup, my loading station clamps in my vise, sets up in seconds and can be stored when not in use.

thanks,
Aaron

Thanks for the replies all,

I wasn’t sure if they were coated either to me they looked like they were tumbled and are now oxidized. I also think they might be swaged not cast but I’m not sure. I scraped them with a blade and the oxidation easily came off. I put them in lacquer thinner and nothing came off. I just did another test by dipping one in lead patina solution and it easily turned a dark grey so I’m pretty sure there is no coating in them.
I’m ok with making a small investment to PC or lube the bullets but I don’t want to throw good money after bad.
I tested the hardness with the pencil test and they seem to be about 10-12 BHN

Loaded a few pics, and one that was dipped in
patina.

I saw those RMR bullets too late kicking myself I bought these!

thanks,

Thanks for the replies,

I’ll keep an eye out for a cheap toaster oven I guess and try to powder coat a batch to try them out.

thanks,
Aaron
