so after a lot of experamenting and online orders i have learned two things: 1) for my 30-30 i need a .311 diamater lead bullet. 2) i like missouri bullet's prices and fast shipping.
the only problem is that they do not sell anything in a .311 diamater. they do have a bullet for the 32-20 that is a .313, so i thought about getting these and resizing them with a lee resizing die. i have read that cast bullets need to be lubed both before and after sizing and all i hear about (especially with lubing before sizing) is using lee liquid alox. i have no experience with lubign cast bullets but i watched a couple youtube videos and it looked like the alox didnt fill up the lube grooves like the factory lube does.
this got me to wondering about sizing the missouri bullets with the factory lube. would i need to give them a coating of alox before running them through the sizer, or will they be fine with just the factory lube? also, will the factory lube be in tact after sizing of will i need to relube?
i apologize in advance if these are obvious or dumb questions but i have been unable to find any specific answers and i am pretty new to this.
