Are these worth loading?

Are bullets with mold seams as pronounced as these worth loading? I'm generally disappointed with the quality of these bullets. The lube has
flaked of on a majority of them. Are these bullets worthless?

Regards,

Troy

I'd re-lube with Lee Alox and use 'em. The rifling on the bore will take care of the seam and if you shoot any SWC's they almost always aren't perfect out front. Use 'em is my vote.

As said get some Lee alox on em and try, you may be surprised

I agree. Add a dab of LLA and shoot 'em.

I have a whole box of .45 C Bullets with that crappy red wax lube. And it's falling off too. So I just run them through my Lube-A-Matic and load 'em up.

In your case I agree with the other guys who say LLA lube and shoot 'em.

I have had little luck with bevel base bullets although the bevel on those is not as drastic as some I have seen.
I would just relube as Joe said or use the Lee liquid alox or Rooster Jacket and give them a try.

Thanks, Gents.

Should I clean off the lube off before using the Alox?

Yeah, you wanna give that Lee Liquid Alox a day or so to dry & you're in business. Stuff works like a charm! jd45
