I have been casting bullets for mebbe 16 years and I still don't have a lubersizer. I pan lube, dip lube and powder coat. I don't care for the bullet noses to get tumble lube on them so I dip lube. I still pan lube because it isn't too much work, and results are very good. I put bullets in a pan, on their bases, add chunked up lube, put in a toaster oven at about 175-200 degrees. If the lube doesn't cover the lube groove, I'll add some. After about 15 minutes I'll let the pan/bullets/lube cool, then I'll use a "cookie cutter" to remove the bullets and size with a Lee die. This method has worked quite well for me as the lube sticks better when the lube and bullets are the same temperature. I've used commercial lubes this way and my home made lubes. No mess, no "extra" work, no extra costs for dies and nose punches...
