Well, I'm running out of my 230 gr Berry's RN for loading .45 acp, so I broke out my casing gear and fired up the pot to try out a new mold I picked up on sale at Midway some time ago.
Lee 230 RN with tumble lube grooves.
Castes up about 300.
One concern is that the unlubed bullets are measuring only .451" dia. Yet they are making slight contact when pushed through the .452" Lee sizer.
I'm contemplating lubing these by dipping only the lube grooves into a tray of Alox, so as to NOT lube the RN portion. Any thoughts on that?
I'll have to wait until Monday to take one into work to weigh on the lab scale, as my scale doesn't go that high.
I've got Lee Alox and Rooster to choose from. Any recommendations as to which will work better for this application?
