When you use the tumble lube on cast bullets and then size them, doesn't the lube come off the bullets. It seems like you would remove some of the lube. Or isn't anything to be concerned about.?
. Forgot to mention that these are not lee tumble lube bullet,but regular semi wad cutters. I have heard that they can be tumble lubed as wellI've used the liquid alox for lubing ball-ets
and the Lee REAL bullets for muzzleloading,
and to re-lube cast bullets I've bought that
had a poor grade of lubricant applied by
the maker. It's good stuff
I think that the tumble lube alox is supposed
to be applied and dried after the sizing is
over and done and then loaded.
I've never done anything to any of the
projectiles I've tumble lubed except to
load and fire them

That's the same way I do it only I use wax paper. I lube mine again after I size them and add the gas checksI size on the Lyman and then I Lee Liquid Alox all the bullets. I squirt a few drops in a plastic Folgers can and then shake the bullets about 100 at a time in there and pour over tin foil to dry. They shoot great and are accurate. Both rifle and pistol.

If you want to be rid of the lube you have send it to me, I'll use it and be happy with it..I used to use alox some and did as MEHarvey does except for the baking in an oven. I just set them out in sun all day and got the same results. After trying out powder coating I put up my lubrisizer and have a couple of bottles of no longer need alox sitting on a shelf wasting space and a couple of sticks of lube in a drawer doing the same.
Lube, size, lube again. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?media/lee-alox.3747/
