.488 pan lube cookie cutter

[Timtoolman]

Do anyone know where I can get a .488 cookie cutter? I have been pan lubing bullets then resizing using a custom lee sizing die, I don't use a lubrisizer.

I use a .45 cartridge with the primer hole drilled out with my .429 bullets, try finding something for free that will do your .488s

I've looked going that route the only empty casing I have is a empty .50 bmg casing which is bigger at .510 which I could use I guess and run it through the resizing die again.

When I was doing pan lubing for BPCR, I tried to catch the cake at just the right temperature and punch the bullets out by hand. Then wipe the base before seating.

That's also what I've been trying to do, more often than not, The lube partially comes out of the groove and isn't filled completely, I may try to just dip the bullet in lube and then resize. But that's a much slower method. I'm just trying to be more efficient and faster.
