So my new 452-374 4cav, brass Hollow point mold is being sent to me from Mp-molds and it looks like I will not be able to use the Lee Alox lube for it? (I might be wrong) So I'm looking to buy a Lube sizer and would like to know what is a good one to buy and other then the lube what other items I would need to have when my molds show up? I have been saving up lead for the past year waiting for this mold to show up so I want to make sure everything is in order! Lead is old range lead most of it comes from Winchester Ranger JHP that we shoot at my department but it is a mix of lead. Thanks

http://www.magmaengineering.com/component/banners/click/14/           Using an old Lyman 450  with NRA type 50/50 lube for many years.  Not all 50/50 blends are the same. You may require a heater so the lube flows better when cold.    This 50/50 from  http://www.lsstuff.com/  needs a heater. Alox has worked for me with a 45 acp 200 gr bullet, but Alox  builds up in the seating die. You dont have this problem with a Lyman. Your mould would seem to be a rifle bullet? I would get a sizer if i didnt already have one.

I use a Lyman 450 with heater and Lyman Orange magic lube.



So choose your lube according if you want to use a heater or not.

Heat or no heat is one better then the other? I think I will go with one with a heater so I can have the best of both worlds
