Semi - I lubed them with Cabela's bullet and patch lube and they go through the .451 sizer with no trouble. I'm going to be trying some paper patching so I will need to go down to .446 per Ron and Chet's instruction. Then I guess after they get wrapped with the paper I will run them through the .451" die.
All the years I shot muzzys this is the first time I'm trying this paper patch stuff. I don't even know if I need to lube the paper before shooting or not. I'm sure it will definitely reduce any leading.
