I did an inventory about a year ago. I have some 150 lead bullets, marked for a 30 caliber, 165 gr., FP. I intend to shoot some reduced loads in a 30-06 rifle. I had some gas checks for 30 caliber, sitting unused. I can use, I recall, a Lee Lube and Sizer kit, .309, under $20, to attach the gas checks to the lead bullets. Correct me if I'm wrong.

This coming year, it will be to clean out all the old inventory at the practice range and sight in maybe one new copper jacketed rifle bullet for hunting.

May as well use up money that's been spent.
Your memory isn't all that bad...you sure can and thats what you want to do. That will crimp the GC to the bullet better than the press fit type.
