Any idea what lube sizer these parts would be used in?

Thanks, Andy

Looks like the RCBS/LYMAN style h&i dies and top punches.

Thank you.

If I had to buy these new, roughly what do they cost?

What are these parts worth in used condition?

Can one still get the O-rings for the dies?

(I know nuthin about lubesizers and starting with zero equipment. I'm leading up to a bigger question, but that will be in another thread :wink:)

$20 shipped is my limit on a used sizing die, and no more than $8 shipped (price for theperfessor's custom-made top punches) for a top punch. If you are buying that entire batch, and they're being shipped, they'll all fit in a $5, small flat rate box.

I get O-rings from the local hardware store's plumbing department.

Usually there will be a three digit number on the rim. This tells you the finished diameter of the boolit after it is sized.

There will also be a three digit number on the nose punch. This combination used to be Lyman's catalog number for the die. This should help you to match the die with the nose punch. If the dies have rows of three or 4 holes they are Lyman dies; if there are only 4 holes spaced around the die, it is an RCBS die.

All the dies are Lyman. The dies with the "o" rings were designed for the 450 sizer while the third from the left , since it has no "o" ring was for the older 45 sizer. You can , of course use the 450 dies in the older 45 as well as the RCBS.
