Ok now I went and did it.
I've been dip lubing bullets for 45-70 for quite some time, in my home made lube. Easy enough to remove the excess lube with a chamber formed empty brass case sort of like a kake cutter, and thumb seat.
Now I am to breech seat 32-40 bullets which are tapered, with smaller driving bands as one gets closer to the ogive of the bullet. I have no issue applying lube to the bullet, only getting the excess bullet lube off.
I suppose I could apply the lube by hand squishing it into the grooves, but still the issue remains of how to remove the excess. Can't use a push through die in my Star lubrisizer.
I wonder if folks have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
