[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Sizing cast bullets

Posted: 1/12/2009 6:25:30 AM EDT

Anyone sizing their Tumble luble cast bullets from the Lee mold? I'm shooting
a 9MM TL Lee 124Gr bullet, out of my Glock 19 with a Lone Wolf barrel, and
have noticed that the bullets chamber easier once sized, even though Lee
says it is not necessary.

I size all of my cast bullets. The Lee sizer is easy to use, cheap, and works good. I have found my cast bullets to be much more consistent when sized.

The larger the bullet, the better it seals the bore and throat. This reduces leading. If your rounds chamber with some effort, but chamber, leave them alone.

Hard Cast Bullets may drop from the mold in different sizes due to many variables including alloy mix, mold temperature, alloy temperature, and who knows what else.

In my mind, why not be consistent and size everything the same.
