Well, slowly getting everything in place. I would like to get the old lube out of the sizers I have. Two, a Lyman No. 45 and Lyman No. 450, were my Dad's and almost certainly have Lyman lube in them. The third, an almost brand new looking No. 45 was picked up at a yard sale and I have no idea what the lube is. Anyways, one is going to have BAC, one is going to get Carnuba Red, and one is going to get SPG. Suggestions on the best way to get the old stuff out.

Try these links to "Classics & Stickies"...will tell you 'bout everything you might need to know. And, probably, some things you won't really care about. too.

I hang mine upside down and use a heat gun to get it nice and warm. All the old lube just flows out. Did try boiling one it water. Worked very well, but had to buy the wife another pot!!
