Question about Oregon Trail Bullets

[kyonic]

I am just curious about Oregon Trail Lazer Cast Bullets. I have a case of 500 in the .45LC bullet and I am about to load them up with my Dillon SDB, do I have to do anything different with these bullets when loading, or do I just start loading? I think I read somewhere that you need lube with cast bullets?

I'm not sure about the 45LC, but in 357 and 30-30, I just load and go. Mine have lube already in the grooves.

The lube is already on the bullet in the lube ring I shoot the 158 Gr. LSWC in my 357 for years great bullet.

I shoot the OT 180 gr LSWC's in bullseye comp. Great bullet. Load and go. There's lube already in the rings.

you only need to lube cast bullets when you've cast them yourself.It's part of the process.
Your bullets will have a ring of lube that is visible.Usually blue on that brand but could be red.

Good bullets! I use the 158 grn FPRN for .357.
The lube is already applied and can be blue red or I have even seen green.

You'll love the bullets

These are my bullets of choice for both my .45LC's (SAA and Puma 92).

Have not had any issues with loading or firing.

Just load 'em and go. You'll love 'em.

Don't run them at extremely high velocity or with very fast powders, or you might get some leading. (I got leading with TiteGroup, but not with Unique in .45acp)

do I have to do anything different with these bullets when loading,

If you have only been loading jacketed bullets in the past, you may need to adjust your expander die to bell the case mouths slightly more then you have been doing.

The case mouth will shave lead & bullet lube off as you seat them if the case isn't belled enough. You should be able to easily start a lead bullet in the case by hand if they are belled properly.
