Rain days are for lubing.

I'm currently stamping some of mine out that were dipped in TAC#1 lube. I got a new "cake cutter" this week and wanted to try it out. I had a couple of different styles (double and single groove) that I wanted to test it on.
I had previously tumbled, sized and then re-tumbled these for loading, so they are getting triple lubed, but I wanted to play with my new toy and didn't have any raw boolits handy.
The next ones will be prettier because they won't have the brown stuff on em.






Here are the 1st dozen.


I think it's working out really well! I had been using an expanded shell casing with a nail stuck through the drilled-out primer hole, and this beats that by 800% (or more), not the results, but the ease of use. There are a bazillion ways to get wax to stick in a groove, but some easier than others.

I think it's working out well also. I've never done it that way but see nothing wrong with it at all.

It takes a lot of patience.
