Another new enjoyment for me for me!

Yesterday, I cast my first bullets. (I did 500 pieces of 145 gr .40 S&W.) I'm using the Lee lube and sizer combo, and have come to the point of loading some test rounds. Do I need to try to wipe off the Alox lubricant from the tips of the bullets? (I just wondered whether it might tend to accumulate on the feed ramp and become problematic.) Thanks for any help that you care to offer.

Update

Well, I went ahead and worked up a dozen rounds of two different loads for my .40 pistol. Just now returned from firing them. There may be a very small amount of Alox on the feed ramp at present. (If so, very small.) Though I fired only two dozen rounds, it doesn't appear to be a concern to have to wipe the Alox off of the tip of the rounds. I'll try 50 or 100 next time and will have a better view of this issue...
