your not alone in not really wanting to spend the cash for the required sizing and lubrication if you don,t want to shoot all that many cast bullets,
your choice of projectile, and lube will effect how well the combo potentially works.
it should be obvious that a lube sizer with dies increases conformity and consistency and accuracy, yet...there are other routes

a small flat pan filled to about 1/4" depth on a hot plate set to the temp required to keep the well blended mix of lube liquid, with a 50/50 mix of alox and bees wax
in which you simply roll these bullets , stand on their base to cool on some tin foil and then load them works in a 45/70
yes the lubes generally tacky ,but if you roll the bullets and stand them up on tin foil or wax paper and let them dry for a few days you don,t have to deal with the mess more than once
as like paint it tends to dry a good deal, it will remain mildly tacky but it works well, and once loaded in the cartridge its quite effective.as a lube.

id suggest 40 grains of IMR 3031 and the bullet below, it works rather well in a buddies marlin 45/70
a small spoon or needle nose pliers can be used to roll & pick up the bullets, cast the bullets from 95% WHEEL WEIGHTS and 5% tin or Linotype,
yes lees suggest strait alox, but experience Ive had suggests alox/bees wax mix is better.
many guys also suggest you insert a thumb nail size cotton ball wad over the powder before you seat and crimp the bullet
as this seems to aid in accuracy and prevent hot temps from melting lube into the loaded powder charge in loaded ammo.
yes its a hollow base projectile
for every 4 oz of alox throw about 4 oz of bees wax in the pan on the hot plate, warm and mix thoroughly then apply
