"Rusty,
I don't think it would be a bad thing to have, at least the LEE push through sizer anyway. LEE recommends it too, even on their TL boolits. Occasionally, if one does not get the block halves completely closed, even a few thousandths, OD can vary enough to make a bulge in the case when loading. A quick run through the "push through" would alleviate this issue.
You may not have ever had this problems. If not, it's a moot point."
Yeah, I've been using the Lee method for about 3 years. I've had some problems but I don't know if a lubri/sizer would do much better. Some of the Lee molds I have needed some tinkering when I first bought them but I didn't know what was wrong until I started visiting the cast boolit web site. They're a great group over there that have a lot of know how on casting. The push through system Lee has worked well and some of the tumble lube design bullets I don't even bother sizing. I shoot mostly pistols and for what I do the Lee has worked well enough. I'm starting to load/cast for rifles now, .308, 30-06, 30/30, and 45/70. I'm wondering if the lubri/sizer maybe the way to go for them. So far I've just loaded light "cowboy" loads but I'm thinking I may want to speed things up in the future. I'm wanting to take a deer next year with a cast bullet. The 45/70 would do it I'm sure, but I just want to be able to shoot .30cal accurate enough to take a deer out to about 100yds or so.
Here's a picture of my Unique load at 50yds and the bullet after it went through about 3" of Elm. I'm still tinkering with loads for it but I can't seem to get the free time and weather to come together.
