So you can't afford one ?
Maybe you can't afford a Lube- Sizer right now. Here is a way to get around spending that $150 +.
There is a sticky on this , but here is a " refresher " for you.
If you have a mold and some Hornady g/c's , the rest of this is pennies and you'll end up with bullets that shoot groups as well ( or possibly better ) than those from your $150 lube sizer. Here is a group fired with bullets using this system :

My photos show a metal pan, after more work I've determined that isn't the best melting pan to use. Go to a thrift store and buy and old skillet. An old aluminum one will work just fine as long as the bottom is FLAT.
If you go the fruit juice can route, cut the bottom out leaving about a 1.5 " rim around the bottom of the can ( see photos below). I'm using home made lube, you can use whatever bullet lube you have.
This example is for .30 cal, but this process can easily be used for 8 mm, .35 cal, .41, .44 or .45 cal. cast bullets just as well.
You'll need to determine the size of cast bullet you want to fire out of your rifle or pistol. In my case, I shoot an awful lot of .310" dia. cast bullets in my 06's and 308 Win. rifles. So I took a .310 dia. sized cast bullet and a a fired 30 / 06 case that would barely slide over the .310 dia. bullet with little or no resistance.
Drill out the flash hole of the case and put a 20 penny nail through that hole. Turn the head of the nail to about .295 " , put a little wooden dowel on the end of the nail and your finished.

It is interesting to note that a lot of lub sizers come from the factory with top punch / sizer die mis - alignment. The issue of mis - alignment can and will size one side of a bullet more than the other side of the bullet , wrecking accuracy. This system is free of that problem, a bullet is sized WITHOUT any mis - alignment.

Melt your lube slowly and don't over heat the lube. Lube can and will be damaged if it gets too hot.

In the photo below the bullets that have already been sized .310" and had their g/cs installed are placed in molten lube to the proper height and allowed to cool in the lube until the lube turns into a solid.
