Two lube sizers, how to set up?
Gents,
I have two lube/sizers, a RCBS Lube-a-matic ( You have to love that name... ) and a Lyman 45.
These were given to me by an elderly club member who is giving up the sport and as such came with the RCBS full Lyman 50/50 lube and the Lyman full of RCBS green lube ( I think it's the non Alox based indoor one) for some reason... :D
I would like to load subsonic hunting HPs and a mid range ( up to 600 yards say) target load for my 308, 38 special target bullets for indoor practice and 45 colt/454Casull for range use and hunting respectively.
I am guessing that the RCBS green lube is the best for the subsonic 308 and the 38/45 target rounds and the Alox would be best for the supersonic 308 target load but would appreciate confirmation as I am rather new to all of this.
How best to manage the H&L dies though?
Boil them off before swapping back and forth between lubes or buy a H&L die dedicated to each load?

I'm not sure. I will let you know when I get there [emoji23]

You should be able to push most of the old lube out. Remove the die and turn the pressure screw all the way down. There will be some residual left over but it will be minor. Here's how it comes out w/ the die removed.
