I had a problem I never had before. I was having a lot of trouble adjusting alube die in a Lyman 450. I used this diebefore and was just having difficulty. Look at the picture with the bullet. A little too low or deep and the lube squeezes onto the bulletnose. A little too high and the lubewinds up on the base.
My solution—I cleaned the lower band of lubes holes. I took an O-ring with an 1/8”cross-section. Cut the O-ring and pushedthe end into each lower lube hole and cut it off. In the die only picture you can see a smallpiece of O-ring I trimmed off. Lookcarefully and you can see a difference in the hole colors. The lower hole is plugged.
