I would like to thank everyone for the input. I didn't end up getting the swag-o-matic. It was sold before I got back to it, so I'll just build a dedicated swaging press that I don't have to wonder...

I have the opportunity to buy a swag-o-matic press. For the time being I'm only planning on doing 22lr jackets and bullet forming for .223. Is this press up to the task? What are the major...

Since I've got a good stock of primers and enough supplies to reload 10,000 primers with the H48 compound, primers are the least of my worries. What I can't make is smokeless powder.

I'm thinking about my next rifle build. I want something that will be economical to shoot at the range up to 200 yards. Given the shortage of powder I'm thinking of something that can be loaded with...

Has anyone tried using 17-4 PH stainless for swaging dies? I'm considering using it because of the ease of heat treat and low distortion. It can be heat treated in the cleaning cycle of an electric...

Yes, I marked the bullet with black magic marker before I plunk tested it. You can obviously see the marks where the rifling is engaging the bullet.

I have been using Lee 356-125-2R bullets in my LC9S for sometime. It doesn't care about overall length. I can load the at 1.160 and they run fine. I've been loading 4.0 grains of Universal. I...

I sized and lubed a bunch of 9mm bullets last night. You could definitely smell the alox in the lube. Got to know that smell well from tumble lubing. But since I shoot at an outdoor range, it will be...

These started off reasonable. In the $50 - $75 range. They just ended up in the stupid range.

That's the problem, there doesn't seem to be any new lubrisizers available. Panic buyers have gotten all those first.

I recently bought a Saeco lubrisizer on fleabay. I had originally looked for either a Lyman or RCBS. There is no way I will pay the prices they are bringing. I saw a used RCBS LAM2 go for $365 and...

I just got the sizer in today. It appears to be the Saeco traditional lube which as I understand it is the same as the NRA formula. I'll give it a try. Thanks everyone for your help.

Thanks for your help. One last question, it is coming 1/4 full of Saeco lube. Is it any good for pistol calibers? Or would you clean it out first and put in the carnauba blue?

I guess I should have been a little more clear. I have run a friend's Lyman 450 although it has been some years ago. I was wondering about any peculiarities the Saeco might have starting up. I have...

My deal for the Lyman 45 fell through and I aquired a Saeco lube sizer. Does anyone have pointers to set it up and get started with it correctly?

Because I have friend wanting to trade me the Lyman 45 for an old RCBS Jr2 that I have laying around.

I am considering buying a Lyman 45 to size and lube all my bullets. The biggest caliber I will be sizing is 480 Ruger 400 gr. Is the Lyman 45 up to the task? I know if the bullet is too hard and too...
