For my sins, I just bought a Lyman 45 Bullet sizer on Ebay. I know I'll have to clean it out and probably replace some seals.
Does anybody know where I can get a copy of the old manual for this thing?
Also, I'm loading .45-70 and .50-70 cast bullets using Ron Long custom moulds. I'd bet good money that the top punches sold by Lyman won't fit the noses of my bullets. Why couldn't I make a flat top punch and push the bullets through upside down so that the punch bears on the flat bases of the bullets?
Any advice is welcome.
