Do RCBS, Lyman, Saecotop punches work interchangeably on lubrisizers of there various manufacturers? Simply will top punch of #1 work on sizer of #2 etc?Or do I have to buy punches and sizers brand specific for lube-sizer. Thanks!

RCBS & Lyman interchange. Saeco builds punches to fit Lyman & RCBS, but those will not fit Saeco.

JonIs Saeco lubesizer worth this extra hassle?

I'm trying to get started in this. Will the Lyman and RCBS dies work with the Saeco lub-sizer, I take it the top punch won't. I am setting up to load for 348Win and have Lyman molds and top punch already. Thank you.

No. Saeco screws into the lube-sizer with threads on the bottom of the die. Dale

Thank you,my conclusion isthat a Saeco sizer is not a good idea for a starter with hard to come by 348Win molds, sizers in lyman/rcbs brands. Saves me rom buying a sizer press that wouldn't work.

Thanks guys I appreciate this. I was about to post and ask whether I can use an RCBS top punch in a Lyman lubesizer. Glad I searched.

Carry on.
