Stopped by a gunstore I seldom visit and found they had a small table of used reloading gear. Sitting partially covered in a greasy mess was a Lyman 450 marked $75. I walked away with it for $50. After taking it apart and about a half hour in the oven at 200, it's in virtually new condition. Looks like the original owner never bolted it down snug on the bench and the lube started leaking from below and it went down hill from there. All bolt heads and orings are mint condition. Going to sell the sizing die and top punch (358/ 311TP) that came with it as I have no use for them. Now I have something to sit on my spare Lyman heater.

Congratulations, sounds like you've done well. :-D

I have 6 lubsizers on my bench and two were bought new, the last one I bought secondhand was an RCBS and I got it for £10 or $17.

It looked crap but cleaned up good and it works champion.

Good deal there! I can understand why you had to buy it. It is just not right to have a lube heater sitting around unused... :kidding:
