Lube sizer - What to buy?

[Moondawg]

I have been running two Saeco's for about 20 years now. Yes they are a little pricy, but their quaility control is excellent and they a very sturdy. I doubt I will wear either one out in my lifetime. My only complaint is their top punches don't always fit the bullet nose on some of my bullets from custom or non-Saeco molds. That is easily fixed with JB Weld or chucking the punch in my lathe and modifying it.

I am surprised I didn't see a recommendationf the SAECO. I've had all the sizers and when I got out of casting, I sold all and the SAECO took forever to sell and finally at a greatly reduced price. They are well made machines, I never had alignment issues I think because of the tapered shoulder on the punches, I guess the price and used dies being scarce have just priced the SAECO's out of the market. Any other comments on the SAECO would be appreciated.

Have fun, cast and shoot straight.

Everything arrived in the mail the other day. I cleaned out the old lube and now setting it up. Just need to get out and order some more sizing dies that I need.

I have and use all sizers except the Saeco, however i find myself using my 2 Stars more all the time, one is set up for smokeless lube, the other for BP lube, both have air units and heated bases. All sizers that i have used also seat gas checks including the Star, the Star and Lee may falter with checks if the bullet is very undersized for the die you are using. The Lee tumble/pan lube then size is way too slow for me, even small batches.

lee's push-thru sizers with liquid alox (lee or xlox) are the new paradigm for me. my rcbs lubrisizer is idle.
