Why not try some of the new Hornady swagged bullets that are being offered with a new type of lube these days. I buy these for my Vaquero .45 Colt sized to .454 and have excellent results. You might also try dumping some of your current supply of bullets into a ziploc bag and squirt some Lee Liquid Alox on them. After you thoroughly cover the bullets with alox (I use a rubber glove to avoid getting it all over my hand) set the bullets on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper to dry. This method has allowed me to shoot some cheapo cast bullets that previously leaded like crazy.
