Hello Dave,
I've heard mixed results with hollow based bullets, what powder you shooting?
I'm loading my 44 Colt Original heeled bullet with Black MZ, no need for lube.
Not sure what part of loading heeled bullets is the pain.
I first lubed with my cylinder press & a homemade lubricator,
and still crimp with a modified LEE Factory Crimp Die.
Let me know what's trouble you & I'll try and help you out.
