For .44 caliber bullets (.427-.435"), I use a range-pickup .44 Mag case that was fired in a firearm with a grossly-oversize chamber. The mouth was squared-up on my trimmer, and a bevel put on the outside of the lip with a deburring tool. The flash hole was drilled out with a 3/16" drill bit. Through the hole, I run a piece of 0.182" polished drill rod, that's about 5" long.
The extra length of drill rod gives me a bit more to grab, when working with BAC, Carnuba Red, and similar "hard" lubes that can be difficult to work with for pan lubing.
(I currently have a few hundred dip-lubed bullets cooling. I'm hoping it simplifies the process for Carnuba Red. ...great lube. ...huge pain to use without a luber/sizer.)
