FWIW: You can size bullets nose first in a Lyman 450. Take off the ejector punch and the "strap" that actuates it. Make, or have made, a flat ended punch to fit in place of the top punch, slightly under the inside diameter of the sizing die and long enough to allow the bullet to be started nose-down into the sizing die. Lightly lube the bullets and push them through as you would when sizing normally. The punch can't be made long enough to push them all the way through, but the next bullet will do it. Push the last one out using a smaller bullet, a piece of brass or aluminum rod, wood dowel or whatever. You can't lube this way(or I haven't figured out how), but it could save you the price of another set-up if you want to try nose-first sizing to see if it helps. L. O. G.
