What kind of sizer lubricator

[richhodg66]

does this die go to? There's a flange on it that keeps it from really working on a Lyman, but otherwise, it seems dimensionally correct.

I think it was designed for an early Lyman sizer that didn't use an O ring for sealing the top. It might work in a model 45 lubrisizer since it doesn't use the lock ring.

[richhodg66]

OK, I always thought the 45s used the same dies. I was wondering if this is a Herters?

[tazman]

The 45 lubrisizers do use the same dies as the 450 and 4500. The die you asked about might work in a 45 while not working in the others.

[richhodg66]

OK, I see. I got it needing an over size 8mm die. I slipped it in the 450 and managed to size a few with it, obviously it's not gonna lube them. I was thinking a guy could turn that flange off somehow and it would work in the 450. Gotta check out a Herters and see if that's what it's designed for.

[tazman]

It may well be a Herters. I have never seen a Herters lubesizer so I can't say.

[richhodg66]

Just so happens I have a couple of them, but they're in pretty poor shape. Gonna need to take the time to soak everything and clean them up to see whether I want to mess with them or not.

Picture didn't come through. I had/have a few SAECOdies that have a flange. I ground off the flange and other interfereing parts to size and lube some of my rarer boolits.

I had posted an ebay link to it, figured it was Ok since the auction had clearly ended and I already had the item, but I guess not. I'll try to get a picture of it back up without using the ebay link.

With the flange it's probably the Saeco - Herter's made models that used the Saeco dies and ones that used the Lyman dies.

I saw the link right after you posted it so apparently it got taken down.

Saeco dies are flanged and threaded on the bottom --
Herters #49 uses a die similar to saeco but has a smaller thread diameter - saeco will not work in herters -- herters will possibly work in saeco - haven't tried to swap them. --
I understand there is a herters that uses lyman/rcbs dies but i have not seen one --

Star uses a flanged die, body is smaller than lyman/rcbs --

Perhaps posting the dimensions will help id the die --
