When cutting maxi balls out of a lube pan, should the cutter be the same diameter as the maxi ball or slightly larger?

Same diameter is fine. All the lube will stay in the grooves.

I find it much easier to dip my conicals, rather than letting them sit in the lube till its hard. I just dip them and set them on a sheet of wax paper.

That's interesting. I'll bet one of those plastic quick load gizmos would work. You know...https://muzzle-loaders.com/collecti...-45-caliber-magnum-speed-loader-3-pack-ac1617
Yes, a TC quick load will work. They came in lots of calibers.

I used a Dollar Twenty Five store funnel. Sized it to just fit a 50 maxi and slide it over the lubed bullet. The bullets stack up in the funnel. Not my idea. Stole it 
If you go this route get a better quality funnel. Maybe a Rubbermaid. Although this one worked fine for the few that I do for family members.
