Looks like I'm going to have to get busy and make one for each caliber I'm pan lubing. First on the list: .308-.313. I think I have a Brit .303 laying around the office on a shelf I can use to make the tool.

Guys, I have found that if I let the lube set, but still almost to warm to handle I can get the cake out of the pan and push the boolits out by hand. Most of what I pan lube is done with Emmerts and so far this has worked for all size bullets that I've tried 30 caliber through to 45 for both pistol and rifle.

I've also found that the gray "bakers' Secret" bakeware works great for this.

I soldered a split washer to a .40 case. Works OK on .357 but is tedious. I use the same pans mentioned above. I couldn't stand the mess and time so I bought a LAM2 and built a PID controlled heater.
