how soon after casting do you guys lube/size

[havent got a clue]

I cook up a fairly hard alloy (wheel weights with 2% antimony added, then water quenched). My question is how soon after casting do you guys size? I've always waited at least 24 hrs. I think I remember reading somewhere that you should let them age at least overnight, and since I have developed SFB as of latley, I can't even remember where I read that.

I size them as soon after a casting session that I can. It's much easier on the lube/sizer and my arm muscles.

Unless I'm going to load right away , I try to give them atleast 24 hours to cure then size and lube , no real reason , just how it works out most of the time . 

I have some that I cast last summer and have just lubed , can't say I saw any difference between those and fresh cast .

I cast them when I get the chance, then lube them when I get the chance.

usually cast one day and size the next but i really dont have any set time period. Sometimes i size an hour later and sometimes they sit for a year unsized.

Me too. I also have some 308 gas check bullets I cast about 6 years ago I need to size and lube, and some 357 SWCs I cast about 5 years ago. Reckon they've aged enough?

Size and lube as needed. I have two sizers one for smokeless and other for black powder lube so I'm set up all time for either. I don't know why but I just hate lubing them up so I procrastinate. Now as for when you lube them it don't make a rats butt DIFF.
