Picked up a used Lyman 450, missing lube top cap, stuck hard with hard lube, picked up set of spares for 4500, including new ram and handle assembly.
It seemed LOOSE: Brown & Sharp 0-1 mike says new ram is .006 smaller than the old ram, and slops badly enough to switch back to the original. Good no slop fit now. measurements were .805/.811
Just a warning. Lyman needs a quality control review: WHY CHANGE DIMENSIONS ON A PRODUCT PART?
