On a whim I loaded some nice boolits for my .45 Colt last weekend for plinking and quite possibly hunting, velocity probably 1100 fps or less, likely closer to 950. Used WW's and a Lyman 452424 double cavity mould. Forgot to order a sizing die for my Lyman LS but have one in .459 for my rifle boolits. Bullets dropped @ .452-.453 so they don't need sizing. Did remember to order the punch, tho. LS currently full of SPG.
Here's the question(s): do I get some Alox and pan lube them? Do I change out the punch and use the .459 die to apply SPG lube? Do I get the right die and use it? Or should I change out the die and the lube? Or some other method? I'm a big fan of K.I.S.S. and a bit of a tightwad, BTW.
I think Alox will cost less per bullet but I could be wrong about that. I will likely load Unique but can't rule out BP. Been going thru lots of powder lately so will go by Cabelas for powder and can snag some Alox too.
