arky65, probably the easiest way to get lube on the bullets, is Lee liquid alox. About $3-$4 a bottle, and one bottle will do quite a few bullets.(probably in the thousands) It's kinda thick, and on the bottle, it says you can thin it out with alcohol. I don't, I just take the bottle,(actually it's plastic) and put it in a jar or glass of real hot water. Shake it up a few times, and after it gets warm, squeeze some into a plastic container with the bullets.(I use a plastic ice cream bucket) Dump them out onto a hard surface and let them dry. Works great!! gypsyman
