Lee alox question
When using Lee's liquid alox I normally tumble the bullets around in a tub but would just dipping the portion that will come in contact with the barrel do anything different than coating the entire bullet? I guess I'm wondering if having the nose of the bullet coated does anything that I'm missing. Thanks.

Lee alox
I have used Lee alox for years and have not found that coating the entire bullet has any bad effect on its accuracy.

It all comes down to how much time you want to spend. LLA or XLOX is all I use for my hand cast bullets. I have tried standing the lubed bullets on their bases, dipping the base and, more often than not, just tumble lubing and dumping them on wax paper and leaving them where they land. There is really no difference in performance. I'm just not patient enough to handle the bullets one by one so I just deal with the lube on the nose and base of the bullet. I do dust them with mica or talc to reduce stickiness and to help keep the reloading dies cleaner.
