    Call RCBS. More than likely there will be some in your mailbox in a few days.

    Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?

    Yep. Ordered mine directly from RCBS. Can't remember if they charged me for them or not. Had them in less than a week.

    I bought a bag each of the different sizes on my Lyman sizer. Not sure about the others but the ones on the dies will be the same as RCBS.
    Not at home but will post the sizes later today.

    From Amazon

    211 Buna-N O-Ring, 70A Durometer, Black, 13/16" ID, 1-1/16" OD, 1/8" Width (Pack of 100)

    015 Buna-N O-Ring, 70A Durometer, Black, 9/16" ID, 11/16" OD, 1/16" Width (Pack of 100)

    021 Buna-N O-Ring, 70A Durometer, Black, 15/16" ID, 1-1/16" OD, 1/16" Width (Pack of 100)

    They are about $13/100 Canadian right now. I'm never going to have to worry about o-rings again.

    ACE hardware carries a selection of O rings, thats where I got the last ones. I was in the middle of sizing a bunch of boolits when lube started comming out from the top of the die. ACE is just a mile from my house, it was much quicker than waiting for snail mail.

    Danco #35768B (11/16 x 9/16 x 1/16 #54) available from Ace Hdwe. works on a Lyman die. If it's available locally it's worth a try on an RCBS die.

    I've gotten them from my local NAPA store.

    If you have a company that serves the hydraulics industry, they will probably have shelves full of all outside diameters and thickness of o-rings. Beyond that, they probably will be cheaper than most of the routine auto parts and hardware stores, not that these have a high cost anyway.

    I assume they are talking of lubrisizer dies not reloading dies.

    I use 014 70a buna o-rings on my rcbs sizing dies.

    The same o-ring also works on the lyman sizing dies.
