Which I did for years. The little Paul Brown wrench just makes it go a little quicker, and its' other end is the wrench for the lock nuts on the bottom.

Most long-time mechanics don't like using an adjustable wrench on any nut they want to reuse. They must be very tight and well-adjusted to avoid damaging the nut, and are still likely to slip off (possibly damaging the nut holding the wrench, too) if you put a lot of pressure on them. And lots of scars on my hands and especially knuckles. I've got at least a dozen adjustable wrenches in my shop, mostly Crescent or decent copies, but they are saved for when they're necessary, not used all the time. YMMV, of course.

I Love the Paul Brown wrench. I've been using the same Lyman 450 for 45+yrs. Never crossthreaded it yet.
Patience is a Virtue to be cultivated.
And know that long term storage of PC loaded ammo has become such a problem, I'll be using it again.
PC doesn't store well long term? What's the failure mode?
I'll second the motion for using a heat gun/hair dryer. One application of heat for a few minutes will lube many boolits.
How do we feel about RCSB lube? I only say that because, the lgs has it in stock.

My Lube-O-Matic came with the RCBS lube and I liked it with my 49-49-2 percent Pb-WW-Sn alloy, at about 12 BHN, for both handgun and rifle boolits.
