.452 Bullet Sizing

...snip...For me the Imperial wax is quicker than spraying on lube, possibly because I'm so used to using it while re-sizing cases. No separate process is required, I just touch my finger tips to the wax every other bullet and that transfers enough lube to the bullets to keep things running smoothly....snip...

It's a matter of what you make a common practice of doing. After a while, it's seamless.

Imperial Sizing Wax (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/519525 ... g-wax-2-oz), is really great too, especially for this particular bullet sizing operation or cases, etc. Hornady has some made up for them, that is died Red, but it's really just Imperial Sizing Wax (http://www.hornady.com/store/One-Shot-C ... ax-1-Each/). I bought few of them and use it all the time too. I have often wondered if Imperial Sizing Wax, wasn't really Lanolin, in a wax carrier? Lanolin and Imperial, act the same, as in, they both have superior/same-same, lubricity qualities.

But these are the tricks, if you want to make Short-Order, for resizing Bullets, All-In-One-Pass. Also, Though I have done this resizing, in my turret, it puts quite a strain on that system. You might want to consider a cheapie, dedicated "O" Press, just for bullet sizing. I really like the lee swagger (http://leeprecision.com/new-lube-size-kit-.451.html) <> ((Notice: it's .451 allowing the bullets to spring back too .4515-.452 - the Barrel groove dia. is the standard .4515 (45ACP) SAMMI Spec. so .451-.452 bullets work with great accuracy)), might as well order their press (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/176078 ... tage-press), while your at it?? OR here's one to jump on and there's other cheapie press here too (http://www.ebay.com/itm/RCBS-JR3-Reload ... 2572ed4ddc)..
