    Good deal.

    Posted this earlier in a different spot by accident.
    Was on a facebook group trying to find out the going rate for a 450. A guy said he had a 45 that he'd part with. Sent me this picture.Click image for larger version.

    We talked back and forth for a while, and I ended up getting it for 55$ including shipping. Got it a couple days ago, and it's good and tight, and looks better in person. Even came with the original wrench.
    Now I can keep my smokeless lube in my 450, and black powder lube in this one!

    The 45 is a good unit. The 450 and 4500 are built off of the 45's idea so the basic concept has pretty much stayed the same.

    Just don't try to size the bullets waaay down in one step. .001-.002 is fine. Best way to tell is as the start sizing if it get really hard to lower the handle stop and try a bit of lube on the bullet. If using hard lube be sure to warm it enough to get it to flow easily

    Thanks Walter, I'll heed that advice!
    Can't really tell in the pictures people show just how frail these things look in person. Nothing beefy about them!

    Thats a good price for that sizer. There is a lot of info available or cleaning those up or repairing them.

    Seems like a good deal to me. When I wanted to start sizing I looked for a used one first for a little while. Nothing doing and I got impatient. I bought a new one from one of the reloading online sellers. Of course now that I have one I have since seen several here on the Swap and sell thread.
    I knew that would happen
