I got my sizing die and top punch today. I ran 25 405gr .459 bullets through it as a test and I have to say I wish I'd have bought one of these 10 years ago when I started casting. Now I just need to...

The 450 showed up today and looks hardly used. It has about a half a stick of Lyman Alox in it and came with 3 more sticks. I'm glad to say it looks like this lube will flow at room temp in my...

Thanks everyone for the answers. I ended up buying a used 450 and a new .452 and .459 sizer. And the appropriate top punches for my molds. Hopefully everything works together.

After ten years of pan and tumble lubing I’m looking into a lube sizer. Mainly looking at used Lyman 450’s and 4500’s. Will the current Lyman 4500 sizing dies and top punches fit the older Lyman lube...
I’m be used them all with various guns over the last 5-10 years.
Here are some pics. Turns out I have 10 of these all identical. I bought about half of them from various places and got the other half from my grandfather. He says he got them from the shop he bought...
That's what I was thinking, based on some other reading I've done it looks like the top one is probably a military surplus magazine. The funny thing is the top style I have bought from my LGS for $10...
I have about a half dozen of each of these I’ve acquired over the years. I’ve always wondered are both Colt factory magazines? Or just the ones with the pony?

My luck I'd butcher it. If I still had access to a lathe I'd just make a few of them.
Looks like I lucked out. Someone over on the SASS forum had an extra to send me.
Well I’ve owned about 15 Glocks in the past 11 years. I have fired thousands of plated and powder coated bullets without issue. I had a G22 that would shoot plain lead tumble lubed with LLA with zero...
In late May I picked up a used unfired Cimarron P model made by Uberti with the old "blackpowder frame" it came with the big ugly knurled screw to hold the base pin in. As I understand new these ship...

I received an email the day after placing my order stating that due to supply chain issues my order would be delayed 7-14 days. Yesterday the tracking number showed that the package is indeed moving....

11 cents each? That is price gouging. They are $7/100 at one local gun shop and $5/100 at another, that is still gouging. Granted they go fast and they’re still limiting people to 300 per week. ...

As someone who worked for one of said businesses, a small local gun store I know this to be fact. Visa wanted 15% of there total credit card sales as fees, that was in 2015. By the way I decided to...

I found them through a user on another site who claims to use them, but who knows. Their prices are right in line with local prices. I can get primers for $5/1000 which is still nearly double pre...

Success! I had to turn the die in a bit further and I paused for about 3 seconds at the end of the stroke. I only checked one in five cases but they all chamber and extract fine so far.

Yes on everything but the fire formed brass. I haven’t shot this particular rifle yet. I’m going to try a going slower and turning the cases sizing in steps. If that doesn’t work I’ll try a second...

Thanks for the info, I’ll give that a try.

Has anyone here ever formed 7.5x55 from .284 Winchester? I recently picked up another 1889 Schmidt Rubin after selling my last one and my Prvi 7.5x55 brass. I managed to get ahold of 100 pieces of...
I do remove and clean the comp each time I shoot the gun, and I haven't yet shot it more than about 20 rounds in a day. I was more concerned about it spitting lead out the top ports and back towards...
