This is a modified Lyman H&I die made to my specifications (with a considerable amount of advice) for me by our own Lathesmith. I chose our "Star" (no pun intended) die maker because this die is a push down only sizer. The heart of this affair are SAECO "S" type neck size bushings that fit into the top portion of the die. A center pin pushes the sized boolit, and bushing, up and out. Once inverted, the boolit and bushing are again placed into the counterbore, then pushed apart by a suitable nose punch. There is very little resistance separating boolit from bush. I recommend sizing in .001" increments for ease of sizing. Any spray type case sizing lube will suffice if needed.
I do hope the images are self explanatory. I'll post more images and info if asked.
