Bullet coating?

[Nuclearcricket]

I have never coated any of my bullets. If you are going to be shooting black, stay away from the Alox, there is a very good chance that it will make a nasty gooey mess inside the barrel. You have your bullets cast, lubed and sized, just load them and shoot them.
Something you might want to try is to load an unsized bullet into an empty case and see if it chambers ok, if it does then I would skip the sizeing step. I am guessing from the fact that they were lubed before sizing, that you are pan lubing them. That is a very popular method of lubing. Some of the bullets that I have must be pan lubed as they are tapered bullets. I do find pan lubing a little bit of a pain but all in all I don't think it is any slower than running them through a luber/sizer and you will not have any chance of damaging the bullets.
I know that one of my luber/sizers has some alignment problems and has produced bullets of poor quality and dismal accuracy. One bullet that I pan lubed and just tossed a load of powder behind it seemed to shoot surprisingly well from the get to.
Just seems to me that there are a lot of things I need to learn and unfortunately I seem to learn some of these things very slowly.
