I'm still new to loading lead bullets. Pre-panic I stuck with jacketed only, but with cost and availability I've ventured to the lead side.
I loaded 100 .357s today, 158 grain LSWC Missouri Bullet Co bullets (thanks, Profire!). I noticed that it felt a bit sticky on the last few rounds. Like when I worked the handle it moved like it was in notches instead of smoothly. Does the lead or lube stick in the dies? Do I need to clean them out every so often? If so, what do I use?
