I need a favor from a Lyman 450 owner

[buck1]

I need to know the inside dia. of the die retaining nut ( measured with calipers) .
OOPS! also the distance from the top of the nut to the top of the die.
Thanks a bunch!! Buck

Hey Buck,

Lost yours, did you?

Here is what you're looking for:

Thd OD= 13/16"-32tpi
OAL= .3085"
ID=.725"
Bore depth=.206"
Cap ID=.625"
Cap head - die=.1025

* Top of the nut has a 30* chamfer/.050" deep

That should give you sizes to make new one.

Buck,

I have one from a 450 that died, if you want it.

I also have other parts from a 450, if you need other spares.
