Hi,

Ive started casting my own bullets a few weeks ago. For lubing i use a lyman 4500 and super moly bullet lube, heres the problem, the lyman hp says " it flows through lube sizers without heat" but thats just not the case for me. Without heating it, the lube is way to hard and i can barely move the wrench, i broke one lyman4500 because i used too much force to push the lube into the fat grooves of my 38 bullets, now i have a new one and i dont wanna destroy it so i heat the lube gently with a hair dryer. But even if its just a little warm, the supermoly flows way to strong and goes under the bullets all the time!
What am i doing wrong? this stuff is supposed to work without heating!!
