Lee push thru sizer.
I modify them as needed to the right diameter.

Bases come out right-much clean, not perfect.

.375 Lyman and .375 Saeco

Residual lube on tray.  Warm it up and it wipes off with paper towel.

Pan lube tapered, have a pump cause I like it, rarely use it.

Straight bullets for fixed use a Lyman sizer with die that just kisses the bullet, no measurable size just lube. It won't work well on Tapered.

I'd love to have the time to build an H&I die that would be larger at the top, tapered to match the nose of the bullet and have holes for lube in just the right places.

With our weather have had "lots" of time to cast. After 1200 bullets have moved on to sizing and lubing. As mentioned above, am new to pan-lubing but have learned a couple of things to pass along. The biggest is that it is possible to put too many bullets in the pan. Reason being that the cake must have enough strength to not fracture when pushing bullets out. If it fractures, then the lube is pulled from the grooves of bullets along the fracture line. In my 8" diameter pan the limit is ~75 38cal bullets if keeping the outside bullets far enough from the edge of the cake to maintain the needed strength. The other problem is pushing the bullets out if too close together. The suggestion above of using a heavy leather glove in pushing out the bullets is a good one. After ~800 bullets lubed, am ready to move on to shooting (cabin fever). Wink

I'm a pan luber.  I own an RCBS lubrisizer, but I just use it to hang rags on Smiley.

I've tried dip lubing a couple of times but always found air bubbles trapped in the lube grooves.

Also pan lube, started with the lyman (thought I needed it), tried pan lubing and got frustrated by the mess.

Then I read a trick on a forum that I should try sticking my tray of lube encased bullets in the fridge for awhile and push em out with my thumb.  Worked wonderful on the first try and haven't used the lyman since.
