Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the Lube-Sizer dies I bought at auction. They have a ridge at the top I'm not familiar with. Thanks in advance. Boats

Top groove is for a o-ring. Second is for the set screw on a lyman 45.

Those look like Lyman size dies to me. The very top groove should have an o-ring in it.

The other dies look like this. I guess that using only RCBS dies in the past threw me off! Thanks

The last two are the older version Ideal size dies. They still should fit in Ideal, Lyman and RCBS lubrisizers. The O-ring groove was a later development, by Lyman, IIRC.
