What Size Mandrel?

[Down South]

I use a .307 mandrel

Yes Glider . Before inserting the bullet in the case , I dip the base in the Dry Lube container , once or twice , to get a very light "dusting" of the lube on the bullet to about half-way up the bearing surface . The excess is gently wiped off after seating . I use the Redding in the media cup that has the little balls in it .

Try dipping a qtip into the balls and then using it to coat the inside of your necks. Quicker and cleaner.

I've used the Redding dust and Redding's Imperial lube applied inside the neck with a Qtip. I must say that the Imperial lube cuts friction noticeably and makes expanding smoother, but doesn't leave a graphite residual for future seating, and unless cleaned off, powder will stick to it when charged. I guess everything has its positives and negatives!

Noticed that when I first began "dipping", once they were fired , and I run a Bore-tech nylon brush in a drill in case-mouth before next re-size . Seems to be working for me , so far .
