I've read an old thread or two but didn't get to shoot this weekend so will throw this out at the risk of plowing ground that has already been well cultivated.
I've recently strayed from my Lyman BPCR and 45 Colt bullets with SPG lube to TL Lee 45acp 200 grainers with lla. Bullets dropped from my new moulds @ .452-453" with a ww alloy that seemed a bit tin deficient.
I didn't seriously consider sizing until after I'd already TL'd 200 and loaded 100. I realize "shoot them" will be the most common answer but if you disagree I'd like to know why.
I'm reading the book by Fryxell and Thompson linked on another thread and they aren't big on TL boolits but they seem to think they're OK for my 45acp loads. I know several of you are TL fans so I'm thinking I need your input.
