" Hi! This is John again. Now, what we’re going to do is I’ll tell you little bit about how to get the bullet ready for reloading. What you’ll need to do is take this bullet and put it through what is called a sizer. It will size the bullet to the exact diameter of the bore of the gun that you’ll be shooting. Also, you’ll need to use lubrication on the bullet. I use a process where you can take and put into a milk jug then slush around, say 100 bullets or so, and let them sit overnight and the lubricant will coat the entire bullet. What this will do is when it goes down the bore, it will minimize any chance of lead being shaved off the bullet. That’s the last thing you want is to have a bullet that has lead off of it. What it will do is it will lead your barrel and also make it an inaccurate bullet. This particular bullet is going to be driven at about 1500 or 1600 feet a second out of a handgun, which is pushing the limits of the velocity of this bullet."
