I'm relatively new to handloading.
I've been loading light .44 Mag. loads with 240 gn LSWC commercially cast bullets. The problem is the bullets have a thick, waxy, gray-colored lube that gets smeared on the cases.
I've been wiping down each round to remove the lube after bullet seating but before crimping. I'm also having to clean lube out of the seating die.
Dealing with this nasty bullet lube is doubling the time of reloading--that is a problem because I want to load large quantities for plinking and time is precious. Is this typical of commercial cast lead bullets or would a switch to another brand solve the situation?
