The O-rings on my RCBS Lub-A-Matic gave up. i measured and bought some 1" O-rings at Lowe's.
They do not feel soft enough to create a seal and lube leaks around them and I pitch them out after one use.
Is there a specific brand or size I should be looking for? Help!! I have a mess on my hands.

+1 on RCBS. Give them a call and they will be in the mail right away. I had no problem when I needed new rings for my LEC sizer.

This. Bought a 5 pack at my local ACE for under a buck.

RCBS sent me the stem plug and o rings for my lam I that my dad originally bought. It took a while for the parts to be made, but they finally got them out to me. The press has been great since then. I should have contacted them back when I tried to cast boolits as a teen and the lube would never stay in the bottom of the press. They sent me some extra O rings as well, but I have not needed them.

I have found a lot of those hardware rings to be a tad too hard and they get cut when entering the body of the sizer even with a smear of vaseline it is a pig to get them in without damage.
RCBS will see you right with the correct parts. I have just bought another S/H LAM 1 and it was missing the 1/2" fibre washer and the bullet ejector lock nut. I've emailed them and they are on the way to me FoC.

buy bulk o-ring stock/material from a NAPA store and simply cut to length and glue the ends together with super glue and you are good to go. Or save larger unused orings and cut needed material from them and glue together. Or save used o-rings that are undamaged for stock to make needed sizes.
