Thanks for the tip! I went there last night as soon as I saw your post. Yep, got the last pair of Lee handles I needed. Then I figured I might as well look for the .223 mold I have been wanting. The Lyman 225415 was in stock! I quickly added it to the cart, followed by gas checks and a Lee push thru sizer in .225. Now, if only the Lyman handles weren't backordered until September...

Anyway, thank you for the heads up!

Not to dampen your spirits, but please let me know if your buys work better for you than mine did for me. My 225415 is undersize casting about .223-.224 and I am sending it back next week. My Lee push through in .225 I cannot use. It seems like the stud that pushes the boolit through is undersize. When I run a boolit through with a gas check on, the gas check doesn't crimp on properly. I think the ram is undersized, it only measures .2205, and it allows the check to push down around the edge of the ram instead of crimping on properly. I just went ahead and bought a Lyman die for my 450 sizer and dedicated it to 22. I just wish it would work right si I could use it to size some if I pan lubed a few with something else when I was tinkering. Please let me know how well yours works, hopefully mine is a fluke and I could get it replace, or buy one from Buckshot. Thanks, Billy

I also wondered if the gator checks I am using might just be a little thick for crimping in the push through? Anyone use one with Hornady check's? Maybe the Gator's are a little thicker and harder to crimp? I have no Hornady's to compare to, so I don't know.

Dammit!

I just checked out an order from Midway the day before! I checked to see if they had these in stock, and I didn't see 'em! So I bought what I bought, and come to find out they're now in stock?

Sheesh. Just my luck! :(
