anybody have / or ever heard of this bullet sizer ?
made by the pitzer tool co in iowa. i bought mine thru brownell's in the mid 80's.
it is a push thru sizer. you can easily do 1200 - 1500 bullets per hour (20 - 25 per minute). it uses solid or hollow sticks of lube and has a spot for a heater which consists of using a small inexpensive soldering iron. i can size .356, .358, .430, & .452.
this thing flies compared to my rcbs lubri-sizer.


thanks, dennis

Yes what a great sizer. I passed one up about ten years ago and everytime I think about it I wish I had bought it.

excellent piece fo equipment. the thign I liked about it is that it is horizontal isntead of vertical. as fast as you can push them thru it woudl size and lube.

I do not own one even though they were made 50 miles from my front door. Sure wish I did own one!!

This picture was taken from one offered on eBay a while back, my pockets were not deep enough to win.

The last one that I saw on eBay was way past $200 when I lost interest. This was perhaps a year ago.

Yes, those Pitzers were great little sizers, and have the unique horizontal operation. I guess the only drawback is the dies are more complicated (therefore, also more expensive) than about any other die I've made, but they are still not too bad. It's nice to see folks keeping some of these classic old machines going.
