Lubesizer alignment questions.
I purchased a Lyman 450 here as being misaligned. So I bolted it down and put my .357 sizer in it. Using my RCBS 38-150-SWC bullets and a good fitting top punch, i sized some for assessment. I can’t tell that it’s misaligned at all. The bullets don’t show more sizing on one side, and the driving bands are all even. Now, this is with my calibrated eye.
The sizer has some play in all the joints, and when brought down it doesn’t come down perfectly centered, being more forward than rearward, but when the top punch engages the bullet, it keeps the play centered it seems.
I have another sizer that is newer, but still a 450 with the old style handles. I can use it for comparisons.
Is there something else I should be looking for? Will a larger or smaller bullet show any misalignment more?
Thanks in advance.
