Hello all, I haven't had a lot of time to give an update but I do now. I got a lyman 45 off fleabay. I would say it is 95% condition with original ratchet. I also ordered 5 sticks of the white label 2500 lube. Die and top punch will be here about Wed. I called Lyman and they sent me the instuctions but I'm sure I'll still have some questions on the setup. The 358665 boolits are looking good and I have about 800 made so far. Oh I almost forgot, I got a bunch of lead and solder for free a couple of days ago and a friend smelted it all down and said it made 120 ingots.

Hope you like your lube sizer. I have 2 of the #45 lube sizers and like them alot. Here's a tip, if you have lube getting past the compression piston you can get the piston for a 450 or 4500 that has the "o" rings and replace it, also the threaded rod and top cap will interchange. Their available as a kit from Lyman for around $15.00, pretty cheap for replacement parts for down the road. Good score on that lead. Good Luck
