    I see that you have gotten alot of comments on your dislike of the lyman 4500 I understand how you feel. If you dont like it you dont like it. You say its a piece of junk thats fine by me and Iam sure you would not want anyone else to go through the same ordeal that you have. Well I can help you out Just send me the sizer and I will even take the dies and top punches. I think this will help you out of this bad deal and you can get back to happer days glad I could help.
    Reloading to save money I am sure the saving is going to start soon

    I have broken two of the links and two of the bolts on my 4500. I learned how to keep that from happening. I noticed the links look to be cast iron and cut out with a plasma cutter. I changed that by just making one of my own out of mild steel and changed the bolts to Grade 8. It helps if you are an ood welder and still have the equipment.

    Nuttin wrong with the 4500 if you stay withing its capabilities.

    This is what I am going to do. The linkage on my 4500 is "POT metal"
