    Is this a Star Lube Sizer?

    Can someone tell me if the unit on left side of bench is a Star. If so, any info would be appreciated. If not, any ideas?

    Looks like a Lyman 45 to me

    I think it's a Saeco lube sizer

    It's either a Saeco or a Herters. The Herters is a Saeco clone, and I have one.

    Definitely NOT a Lyman 45 and I don't believe it to be a Star. Probably a Saeco.

    That's a SAECO sizer. I have two of them, and they work well. Not as well as my Stars, but I use them for different bullets than the Stars, mainly for rifle bullets.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the replies and info.

    454PB, If it is a Herter's, will the Saeco dies and punches work, or were the Herters different.

    Saeco dies will work, the nose punches will work IF you have an adapter.

    I believe Herters had two different ones, one using Lyman dies, one using Saeco dies?

    Herters made one that used Lyman dies (I owned one).
    Herters made one that used dies that were similar to Saeco, but had a different thread

    I've never seen or heard of a Herters that used Saeco dies? But I surely haven't seen or heard of everything either?

    My Herters uses Lyman dies. The handle on top to compress the lube is different on mine, otherwise it looks the same.

    It looks like a Saeco. I have 2 of them with the same color handle. I use them mostly for rifle boolits.
