    New Lee Precision Sizer on the Horizon

    So I have been advised that there is a new Lee precision Sizer on the horizon.
    This would be a bottom out deal
    No more flip
    Will provide more info as I get it

    Crud, something else to buy. I just love all the money we save casting and reloading our own ammo.
    Thanks for the heads up.

    Are the dies for them going to be the correct size out of the box? The ones I got from their custom shop always were. The stock ones off the shelf are a coin flip. More competition is always good. But most of us are to heavily invested in the LAM/4500 or Stars to buy another sizer.

    I don't know about dimensional accuracy, seems like that would not change
    I have never owned a "lubrisizer" so no loss for me
    For me it would save the trouble of running an upside down press for sizing
    I was deciding how to mount a press upside down
    I tumble lube/PC so perfect for me, especially if it uses the Lee/NOE sizing dies
    We shall see

    You're their targeted market then. I'm assuming they will take their existing dies. While easy to hone the fact you may have to do it always disappointed me. It sounds like it's going to be a low cost option for those that coat their bullets and don't need to lube them.

    That's what I've been using for bullets I coat w/ BLL. They are spot on and very affordable.

    If it's just the sizer then it might take the NOE.

    It is not a question of sticking with NOE
    As I understand it, it will be a bottom eject bullet sizer
    That will use nose first sizing dies like Lee and NOE
    No need to flip a press upside down to size

    But will it have the same tight tolerances as NOE? I use mostly Lee products so this isn't intended to bash Lee in any form or fashion. My luck with their sizers hasn't been good, I've had to open up all but one to get to the size that was stamped on the die. So though the principle is great, unless tolerances are better, it wouldn't interest me.

    I have Lee and NOE sizers
    I have been using the NOE sizing die and bushings
    This is not about nose first sizing dies
    It is about a bottom eject sizer
    No need to flip a press upside down

    Drop boolit in, pull handle, and repeat till you're out of boolits.
