Lee Case lube wax for seating bullets?

[M60A3TTS]

Anybody try this? I have been loading some 308 and 7RM using a a qtip and a swish around the inside neck and let it dry for a few minutes. No issues so far,but sure made seating a whole lot easier.

Bad idea. Hydraulic compression of a glob of lube, when expander is pulled thru, induces runout.

Applying with an RCBS nylon brush, may work better.

Been using it for many years now inside necks. Works great. Just let it dry. Here is the same stuff if you prefer a bucket of it.

Anything sticky in neck can make powder kernels stick to it. Bullet will squeeze it down and form a ring to which kernels will stick.This can affect combustion and accuracy- saw a paper on this a few years back. Use dry lube on bullets myself.

I use Imperial graphite dry lube

Exactly what I use when needed... I tried using some sizing was once just off my finger after lubing cases but it then has to be rerun in corncob or the powder sticks in the neck.... Although I rerun everything through the tumbler to get it off the cases and rebrush the necks...

I have used case lube for seating as well, but i would put it on a lube pad and roll/twist the bottom edge of bullet on it before seating.

Lee sizing lube with a Q tip, applied and then cleaned up with a clean Q tip. Bullets seat quite even.

Lee case lube isnt sticky when dry and I have no issues with powder sticking to it

 

[M60A3TTS]

Yep. I qtip them, then I let them sit for a few minutes or more. No sticking powder. Bullets do seat very smoothly and easily. Havent seen an issue to date. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
