Has anyone added a power assist to a RCBS luber/sizer??
With the spine in my neck deterioritating and arthritis it is literally a pain to lube and size boolits. I have been thinking of adding an air cylinder either to the handle or directly to the ram. I have a compressor and experience working with air and hydraulic controls.
Just not alot of money to buy components so thought air might be cheaper. I could probably align the boolit in the die easier with air than with hydraulics.
Pulling down on the handle is not too bad, but raising it back up can be a problem. Suppose I could have the air cylinder push the ram back up easily enough.
