Awesome! I love this sizer. If anyone is thinking about getting one but nervous about the learning curve, don't be. You can size as fast as you can get another boolit in the die!
I Found it on Ebay with the die I needed. Epoxied the punch flat so I can size base first like the new ones. Ordered Carnuba Red from Lars. Mounted it up with a Dillon bullet tray and bracket to catch the sized boolits.
Sized my first 500 this morning, and I'm a happy camper. I've been reading here for a year learning, so my homework was done, but I didn't expect it to go this well the first time. The only issues were a little lube on the nose every 25-30 boolits, and no lube when I went too long without turning the screw. I can live with that!
I used a Wagner heat gun blowing on the base to keep it around 100*. Figured that was about 'coffee cup' hot, and it worked well. I may do a Midway heater sometime soon.
Thanks for all the help guys! It's like Christmas came a week early!
