I'm sure that this is going to get things started! However being somewhat new to the cast bullet fun of shooting single shot rifles I'm looking for advice and want to hear your thoughts.
  I'm casting bullets & loading for a Stevens 44 in 32-40. At present the two bullet molds that I have been using are the Lyman 319247 and the SAECO 632. Have pan lubed both and have tried the Lyman 319247 lubed and sized from an old Lyman 45 with a .321 die. I can't see much difference in the accuracy attained with sized bullet over the un-sized lubed bullets. The one thing that I don't like about using the Lyman L/S is the way the lube sometimes builds up under the base of the bullet in the sizing die. Tried running the stop up and down to see if that would make a difference, but could not see much of a change in that lube build up under the bullet base in the die. As for the SAECO #632 bullet, a tapered design, I just pan lube and believe that's the way it meant to be used. Shoots just fine that way.
  My first try at making a bullet lube seems to be working just fine with smokeless powder. I used equal parts of Bees wax, Crisco, paraffin, and 3 oz of home made bear oil to come up with 3 pounds of lube. Seems to be working well, no leading of the bore, and the powder fouling cleans out easy. The only thing that concerns me a little is that it's a little soft in warm weather, and when handling the bullets to load. Think that I should cut down on the amount of Crisco and that may stiffen the lube up some.   
   Would like to hear your thoughts.

With pan lubed bullets the lube is always harder to the touch than the same lube applied through a lube sizer or Pope lube pump.  The handling of the bullets seems to be less messy with pan lubing.  Don’t know if it prevents the lube from running during hot weather.

I think the difference in hardness is due to the breakdown of the molecular structure of the lube during the extrusion of the lube in the sizers and pumps.  In pan lubing the lube is sheared off instead of being squashed through a small orifice. 

Is the home made bear oil some concoction you came up with or is it the clear liquid that seeps out of rendered bear fat?

Pan lubing is fine and so is a lube pump it all depends how one prefers to do it. If don't like having lubed bullets left over after a match then the Dell style lube pump is the way to go. If don't mind having lubed bullets left over after a match then pan lubing is fine. 

If you have a hard time with the lube filling out the grooves when pan lubing pre-heat the bullets in the oven on low for about 10-15 minutes and problem solved.

When lubing each bullet in a sizer I always tape two cow magnets to the lube reservoir.  They change the molecular structure of the lube so that it last longer. I never have trouble with bore leading that way. Oh forgot to mention to lube size only on a full moon at night. 

Pan lubing works great too and thats how I lube most of my bullets. No stick metal baking pans made in China and my super secret lube formula that only Bob Tyler knows the ingredients there of, and he's not talking.
