Lee .357 Bullet Sizing & Lubricating Kit

Description

The Lee .357 Bullet Sizing & Lubricating Kit sizes cast bullets, also seats and crimps gas checks. Fits any standard 7/8x14 thread reloading press.

Traditional bullet lubricating methods of placing lube only in the grooves are inferior to the modern method of coating the entire bullet with Lee Liquid Alox. This places the lube where needed, on the surfaces that rub against the bore.

How to Lubricate:
- Place bullets in a plastic container and dribble some Lee Liquid Alox onto the bullets.
- Gently shake the bullets in an orbital motion to coat the bullets. If they do not coat completely, add a little more lube.
- Spread the bullets onto waxed paper and let dry overnight.
- Load at least one bullet into a case and check to be sure it easily chambers in your gun. If it fits tightly, you must resize the bullets before loading. Bullets can be sized after they have been lubed. However, for best results, we recommend bullets be re-lubed after sizing to be sure the sized portion is coated with Lee Liquid Alox.

All lead bullets must be lubricated, but it is not absolutely necessary to size all cast bullets. Bullets must be sized if they are so large that they expand the case too much to freely enter the gun’s chamber. Sizing sometimes helps accuracy by making the bullet uniform in diameter. This ensures uniform start pressure and better accuracy. Gas checks can be installed with this tool. Simply place gas check on base of bullet before sizing.

How to Size:
- Screw the sizing die into any standard reloading press. Exact depth is not important.
- Install the bullet punch into the ram. This fits all rams that use standard shell holders.
- Place the red box on top of the sizing die as shown.
- Place bullet on the punch and push bullet through die
- When box is 3/4 full, lift the entire box off the die. Invert the box before opening,
- For rifle and hot handgun loads, it is best to re-lube the bullets to insure the sized portion is recoated.
