[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2333543, member: 30309"] I use RCBS case lube cause thats what they had last time I needed some. the pin tumbling should get the case neck more than sufficiently clean to run through your die without fear of damage. Just a tiny bit of lube on the outside of the neck is all it takes for FL sizing. I scrape my fingertip over the neck to get just the tiniest bit inside. There should never be enough sizing lube on the case to worry about contaminating the powder. I can usually get 3-4 cases sized for every one I have to lube. Any more and I have too much on there. I use both the Lee disk measure and the Lee perfect powder measure with great success for the powders you mention. The perfect measure is better, but slower and not an on-press operation. It's used for 30-06 and 300wm cases for two reasons: 1) there's not a disc large enough to get me the charge I need for the big 308 rounds and I'm too cheap to buy a double disk kit. and 2)these are hunting rounds. I owe it to the animal I am hunting to make the most accurate round I can. 0.1 grains could mean the difference between a heart shot and a shoulder shot at 100 yards on a white tail. You should do what you're comfortable with, no question. Enjoy the process and be proud of the finished product. If the steps you use are filling those requirements, I see no reason to stop. You're definitely not doing anything detrimental. How many reloading manuals do you own? The Lyman 4th is what I'm currently loading with. The front of their manuals is always a gold mine of information! [/QUOTE]
