So i'm another Bullet casting newcomer.
I ordered my first bullet mold, i've casted lead sinkers and jigs for deep sea halibut fishing, but never any bullets
I am starting with my .380, and ordered the Lee 2-cavity 102 gr RN mold. This mold says it has 1 ogive radius. So, before i get casting, do I need to get a bullet "sizer" as well? I'm guessing these are used because they don't all come out at perfect diameter? If i'm just plinking with these loads will it be critical to size them all?
1 more question. I was told "tumble lube" was much easier to use. Can i tumble lube the bullets made in this mold, or is their certain molds made for tumble lubing and others made for other lubing. The 95gr lead bullets seem to just have lube in the groove near the base, or do they have it all over and I just can see them?
