I'm getting kinda tired of being all sticky after sizing boolits.
What's the best lubrisizer for the money?????? Will new parts i.e. heaters, dies ect, ect, fit on older models of the same manufacturer. (Versatility)
Where's a good place to look for a used one.

Best bang for the buck? The older Lyman 450's, the ones with the steel strap looking handles, and the red grip that looks like it belongs on a tricycle. I passed on many of these used because I thought they looked cheesy. I bought a newer 450 and promptly broke it 3 times. Last year I picked up one of the older ones. Guess, what? every thing that broke on the new one is MUCH better built on the old one. You can usually get a nice one for around 60$ on E-bay.

calsite, go to the Casting Equipment forum and look for Quickshot's thread, "OK, I'm done." The replies may help you make up your mind.
