Picked up a badly abused Lyman 4500 recently. Somebody let it swim in a puddle or something as it was rusted up tight.
Anyhow, after a few new parts and much elbow grease I've got the thing working. Just trying to learn how to set it up etc.
One question. I've set up a new H&I sizer for .429 and have some lovely 214 grain SWC's I've cast.
Is it usual for there to be a smear of lube on the bearing edges of the boolit between the grease grooves? I'm using up the tube of Lyman Alox lube that came with my Big Dipper casting kit.
Thanks.
