They replaced my cracked 4500 body after I left the grease piston down on the lube while it heated up. Relatively painless, just send them some photos and all was well. Didn't even charge me for...

I actually shot some .45-70 PP's in my Sharps using it's own Registration Cert.

Well, it looks like I'm getting a new sizer body! Customer service is going to send me a new one.
I have to say, Lyman's customer service is pretty darned awesome! I'll definitely be...

Well guys, I'm sorry about the long time between posts. I got wrapped up in my job and haven't had much time to get out and shoot, let alone cast boolits!
Anyway, I just sent off an E-mail to...

It's a 4500. I bought it maybe 4 months ago, having never used a sizer more complicated than the Lee.
I think I'm going to call Lyman and ask them what I should do. If it ends up costing more than...

Did you know that wax expands when you heat it? Apparently I temporarily forgot about it when I plugged in my lube heater on my Lyman sizer with the piston down on the lube.

You may have to invest in a small-base .50BMG sizing die (if such an animal exists) to bring the base back into spec before fire-forming. I have the same issues shooting .308 Winchester cases from a...

Tried a few with IMR4064 in my M96 9.3x62, I was pressed for time So I didn't do any load development.

Actually, he's right about it being able to be swapped at will between restricted/non restricted with a barrel swap and a phone call to the CFC. It has been done with the 18.5" M1 Carbines...
Ahh darn. Well I guess this throws a wrench into my plans then.
Thanks to everyone who helped out. either I'm gonna try that dry graphite spray or just go "au naturál" like some have said.
It's not that I can't cast without it, just the fact that I wanted to try something different. Especially seeing how people were expounding the virtues of the stuff.
I actually never heard...
They don't even sell to Canadians, but thanks anyway.
So I want to get a hold of some of this "kroil" I keep hearing about for treating mold cavities with. Everywhere I ask, I get blank stares and wierd looks... and the occasional, "What are you using...
