I have some 45-70 Boolits as cast to .459 that I want to pan lube, but I am having trouble coming up with a cutter for this diameter, any suggestions? I have tried a 300 win mag case, cut down and honed out but cant get it all the way thru. I needs some help here fellas.

Steel, Wonder if a guy really needs one. I saw a thread the other day on using silicon cake pans. You stand the bullets up, melt the lube and pour in the pan. After the lube has just set up, still warm, you turn the whole sheet of lube out of the pan upside down and push the bullets (Boolits) out with your thumb. In the photos they looked better than traditional cake cutter bullets. I'll see if I can find the thread. Might be over on castboolits.
Here's a short post in a thread about it. But there is a whole thread with pics somewhere. I thought it was on here but I can't find it. It's hell to approach senior status. RD

BTW, Haven't forgot you just having trouble finding the time. RD

the lube I am using is pretty soft, I think I'll add some paraffin to the mix to try and stiffen it up some. I tried just flipping the cake over and pressing them out but the lube rolls out of the lube grooves, and makes a mess of it. Thanks for the link Rocky dog.

Take 45-70 cartridge case, make sure the mouth in the right diameter and then cut the bottom off the case, set the modified shell over the bullet and push down to the bottom of the pan, then do the same with the next one. Quick and easy cutter for your needs.
