So, Lyman 450, 30+ years old, literally couple hundred thousand boolets sized/lubed.
Seems the threads in the cast iron body where the collar holds the die in are gone. LOL
Really, gone, nutz !
I don't go all Hulk when tightening this collar nut - just snug.
Maybe the hundred + sticks Carnuba Red run through it have eaten them away. - JUST KIDDING ! Best lube ever !!
Ever hear of this happening ?
Emailed Lyman, they have an "exchange" program where I can get a new 4500 for half price, sweet !
Just for giggles, I'm going to drill and tap a couple holes in an attempt to have the bolt heads snug down on the retaining collar.
