Well, I just finished making a die and punch for an owner of one of these sizers. What is it that you would like to know?

I was just wondering how the quality and ease of use was. Are the dies difficult to make? Thanks Boats

PIcs would be nice!

I don't actually have one of these sizers myself, but judging from posts of others who do, these are a decently made and handy machine. I'd say they are on par with most other sizers out there quality-wise, and of course their main claim to fame is that they have a rather unique side-mounting scheme so that they lay sideways on the bench.

The dies aren't hard to make but they are rather time-consuming compared to other sizers, which of course makes them more expensive. I didn't snap any pics of the die I made, nor do I have any pics of one of these sizers. Hopefully one of the guys on-site here who owns one of these will post a few.

Thanks for the help. Someone wanted the sizer more than me on ebay. Boats

[Pressman]

Yes they do. I would like to have one if for no other reason than they were made 30 miles from where I live. Not many relaoding tools have Iowa also. But I need deeper pockets to get one.
