Thank you.I thought when they came out of the mold they were finished. Didn't realize there is a 3rd step. Thank for showing how to do it.

Love your videos, all are no-nonsense and answer many of the questions that pop into my mind while watching. I would love to see another video on the actual measuring / weighing of the powder and the whole final reloading process.

Nice job on the bullet casting videos. I can't wait to get going on it for the 9mm. My son and I shoot a lot of 9.

TIP After I resize and lub my bullets, I dump them into an empty coffee can and then add a few spoons of Mota Mica in it & then shake them up to coat the Mica onto the Bullets also Helps them Lub better & And helps stop any leading of the barrel also etc.

ok. im using white label company now. I love it and it works great. and a lot cheaper than the stuff on midway. but I only got the white lable company b/c midway was all out when I got my lubisizer and didn't feel like making it.

One thing I would like to give you in my experience, Using the lubirsizer doesn't always make the bullet concentric when it comes back out of the sizing die, if you turn the bullet in your fingers you may see that one side is swaged more that the other (Misalignment). What I do the remade this from happening is I use the die that comes with the lee cast bullet sizing kit first, I spray (Pam) or you can use any non stick cooking spray that you want on the bullets and then size those bullets being fed through the die right side up. Then I put them through the lubirsizer to apply lubricant in the grease grooves. the end result is concentric bullets that are true to their axes being perfectly centered. If you don't have the Lee die, that's okay because you can feed the bullets first upside down to size them, then flip them over and apply the lube in the Lubirsizer, I have found that I don't even need a top punch for the bullet nose shape when I do this, Just one that is flat on the nose like one for a .44 SWC.

You can preheat the mold. Some people use hotplates to preheat them. I set my mold blocks on top of the pot and they get some heat from that. It only takes a few casts for the mold blocks to get up to temp so its no big deal to me. If you choose to preheat though be cautious of not heating too much and warping your mold blocks.

I haven't had a need to worry about the hardness of the alloy I've been using. There is very little to no leading with the calibers and loads I use. If I ever start to see excessive leading I will mess around with the hardness or my loads then. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and asking!

Why can't you pre-heat your bullet mold with a blow dryer or something? That way the first few bullets aren't mishaped? Just curious

Some don't size them, just lube and go. Without lube you will get a lot of leading.

So how would I know if I could just use Alox without sizing?

Jim Miller Measure a fair sample of the bullets with a micrometer. If they are at least equal, and preferably @ .001 width greater than the bore, you can at least plink with them. Sorting the bullets is tedious, but if you measure and sort out the ones slightly overbore, you should get very good accuracy.

Any real benefit to lubing this way vs. tumble lubing? I've been using Lee Liquid Alox for some time now with very good results.

If you need to Size the bullet, why not size and Lube it in one stroke? !
@thetobaccoguy1751

rcWizzard Because a lubri-sizer costs over $200, and a bottle of Lee liquid Alox costs $5. Also, that one bottle will lube 4-5,000 bullets, of which would need at least 6 or 7 sticks of 50/50 hard lube, that costs $5 apiece. You can also size bullets with a Lee sizing die about 4x faster that with a lubing/sizing tool. No stopping to tighten your lube pressure knob, you just feed them in as fast as you can, you don't even need to run the full press stroke. I know there are guys who make their own hard lube sticks. That would definitely save a lot of cash, but it's messy and you need to make a big batch to be worthwhile. I also know there is benefit to hard lubes if you shoot at magnum velocities or load cast rifle bullets. For me, tumble lubing has just been much more efficient and economical.

The true benefit is you can size a bullet to any size specifically for your gun, Lee systems does a fine economical job of sizing bullets, bit it can be done more precisely with a sizing die exactly correct for your needs. Having said that, if Lee makes a sizing die kit in the size you need, it is a hard to beat system. Also, some applications work much better with hard lubes than just Alox. I am not an expert and someone may correct me, but this is what I have understood the benefite to be.

Michael McNamara Lee generally makes sizing dies to fit any application. For example, in 9mm caliber, they sell dies in .355, .356 and .357 diameter. Nobody needs a 9 mm bullet larger than .357 or smaller than .355. The magnum velocity loads are where hard lubes really shine. Even so, liquid alox lubed bullets can be shot to pretty high velocities.

I was thinking more in terms of rifle bullets where things like milsurps may need a .312 (Like my Mosin) size or something odd; or a Leverin bullet where you may want one, two or all lube grooves filled -- a Lubesizer gives more options.
