Or you could take an old sauce pan, warm up some lube, enough so that when you stand up bullets in the bottom, the lube grooves are covered. Drill out the primer pocket of a 45 colt case the will allow a #10 screw to fit it. Work the case mouth to except a casting. Put the case over the cast, pull out of soft lube, the push the bullet out.could I just use a butter knife and grease the groves???
Now we talking!!!!Too much thinking. Cast, inspect, size and lube, load and shoot. Been working for me since 1955.

that’s smart! tumble in the lube and then size!!!If we are talking 45 ACP, buy a .452 lee sizing die. Read up on tumble lubing, which is the easiest and cheapest while still being effective. I use "Ben's Liquid Lube" although there are other formulas (although I tend to powder coat handgun bullets). To tumble lube and size, take the freshly cast stuff and tumble lube with a light coat and let it dry. Push the bullets through the die and tumble lube a second time. When they dry you are ready.
Something I ran across at castboolits.were did you think of that… do they make a lube die!

Do say too much, or a bunch or Coloradoans will be ordering them up.4-20 lol! pot! lol
NOE molds are excellent in my experience.$100 buck! not cheap
I’m buying one just for the name! Lee 4:20 Pot!Do say too much, or a bunch or Coloradoans will be ordering them up.
What do the 6 mold .45 230 run?NOE molds are excellent in my experience.
Definitely more use friendly than my Lee molds. If you can pass on a few coffees, cans of dip, energy drink, beer, or whatever your vice is. It would be covered in a month.
I'm kind of tight with my money and I'm glad I purchased them.
