I've got two, one for each of my 4500s. I like them as I can lube anywhere from 8-12 bullets before having to 'mess' with the lever on top.

I am using a hard lube with a heater.

I can usually crank a full turn each time I start to see gaps in the bullet lube grooves. With my BB bullets I do get a bit of lube down there but not enough to worry about. I just leave what's on them and don't bother to wipe if off.

Be sure to let Jim know if you are planning on using hard or soft lube--there are different springs for each type.

I helped him testing the prototypes when he was designing it. It worked great. Probably more bullets without adding more pressure then i get with a star. in my opinion its a must have if your using a rcbs or lyman sizer

I got a ratchet wrench set from Harbor Freight (think cheap) and use that on the top. That way I can keep the handle to the back no matter where it stops after increasing the pressure one turn.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-6pc-combination-ratcheting-wrench-set-sae/p-00935589000P?prdNo=12&blockNo=12&blockType=G12
