I started out using the Lee system for lubing too. Switched shortly after I went to higher velocity and production in my reloading. If you want to go to a more economical way of using the tumble lube system, check out White Label Lube's "Liquid Xlox". Same stuff but a ton cheaper.

There are several reasons to switch. One reason is the mess. Although that can be reduced by using mica to cover your Alox lubed bullets. It is available from Midway and others.

There are different types of lube for different combinations. High velocity cast bullets may (do) need a different lube than what can be used on pistol/revolver target loads.

Use the wrong lube with bullets that are too small to start with and you will have a different kind of mess!
