i tumbled some cast bullets and when i seated them in the case, i noticed the lead is being shaved off. isnt it more important for the lube on the seated portion to stay on? the hidden part. the lube on the bullet head is still intact but from what i know, that part is relatively unimportant. from my understanding the rifling would engage the bottom portion of the bullet and not the top part.
