Loading .44 Mag on a XL650
Quote from Reloader on March 25, 2010, 2:43 pmAmong the several calibers I handload with my XL650, the hardest to operate is the .44 Mag (NB : Dillon dies too). My shoulder gets tired between 50-100 rounds and what started as a pleasure becomes hard work. I wonder about lubing the cases to smooth up the operation but am held back at the thought of gumming up the insides of the case distributor and powder funnel.

If you are so inclined, lube about 1/3rd of your brass, then mixed the lubed and unlubed cases together. This will provide sufficient lube to size cases much easier.
