What do I need to size and lube lead bullets?

Every caster should have the Lyman Cast Bullet Manual. Also, go to “The Cast Bullet Society” website and learn everything there is to know about casting.

Plus two on the Lyman Cast bullet Manual. I powder coat my smokeless cast bullets-range scrap-using the shake and bake method.
There are some very knowledgeable reloaders on the Glock Talk Reloading forum.

Above the .50 range the dies have to be special ordered from Lee. I'm sure the sizers are the same way. I suppose there isn't enough of a market for a .54

i ran into this a couple yrs ago,,, but there are some guys on "cast boolits" web site that will make push through dies for $30!! i've got one ordered in 45 cal at .448 now... but i'm still going to buy an "adjustable" sizing die (Hankins makes them in 50, 45 and 40 cal. his is called smooth bullet sizing die).. i wondered about the 54's.. but have not pursued them... since i got so interested in this new 45cal rice barrel that should be here tomorrow!!
