Do you know how long it takes to TL and sixe 5000 of these bullets??Man! I have worked a long time on them but I love it.HA Good looking bullets.Only fired about 40 of them so far but they did pretty good.Looked like the .452 size worked a little better than the .452 sized in my USFA gun. By the way,I tried putting some liquid Carnuba car wax in my Lee liquid Alox along with a little mineral spirits to thin it and applied it on the first lube before sizing.It worked ok but the bullets are still way sticky.I guess I need to try the fellows cooked off Johnsons floor wax and see if that makes them non sticky.

if using the lee liquid alox try 40% alox 40% johnson paste wax and 10% mineral spirits. Bullets should dry to a no sticky finish in about 15 minutes and works quite well

You can also roll them in motor mica to make them less stick. The mica leaving white spots on your hand is a little better than having stick fingers.
