Anyone got some tips about a spring assisted lube feeder thingy for the Lyman 450?
I use a snotty lube that seaps out under (high) pressure. At the most i can lube 3 boolits before i have to nudge the handle.
If someome have invented the wheel i dont have to but if not then i will, because this is urinating me off. I need to lube/size 2k boolits before friday.

I know cabine tree laoding has done it but i'm broke, so homemade is the ticket.

Clearly a two person job. Could you talk your significant other into, possibly, giving your handle a nudge?

no help with the homemade question but ill testify to the fact the cabin tree unit works well.

I'm brewing on that one. What bugs me is the pin that has to go through the table top, dont fancy that.

Hmmm. A simple bungee cord attached to the ratchet handle and then to the table?
Or a key wound spring motor out of an old toy or clock or such....?
Unaware of the Cabin Tree thing, I will check it out.

My experience comes from testing prototypes and the first of the production units gussy made. they worked great but those didnt require a pin in the bench or a bungy cord of any kind. He must have modified them some more.
