The Lee in-line bullet feeder die looks to be a huge improvement over the fiddly plastics fingers of its predecessor. I'm considering incorporating the new one into my 357 mag set-up on my Hornady Projector press, but I use cast bullets exclusively in this calibre.
Does anyone have experience of this bullet feeder using tumble-lubed bullets - most of mine are plain-based too, not beveled.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Does the Lee in-line bullet feed die work with tumble lubed bullets?

I don't know, But I would think that the weight of all the bullets in the tube would keep all but the last few bullets from sticking. Powder coated work great.

Properly sized, they will work fine.

Thank you, farmer Jim and Larry,
I size bullets to .358" and expand my brass with the Lee powder-through die (with its auto disc), so all's good there. I was wondering whether Alox lube may stick or hinder the process. I add some wax polish paste to liquid alox to reduce stickiness, too and use as little as possible.
What the heck, I like trying new reloading tools, so I'll get one and let you know how I get on.
