Has anyone ever experienced a lubersizer going "solid", or "rocking up" ?
After vigorously scraping, solvent soaking, followed up with heat gun use, on my relatively new LYMAN 4500 Lubersizer, I am going to get rid of all my LYMAN lubes and multiple sticks of (old) HODGDON ALOX and go with Veral Smith's LBT Soft Blue.
I have also cleaned out my old SAECO Lubersizer and refilled it with LBT Soft Blue. Everything I have shot has done well since.
The stuff is fairly expensive, but it really works well and seems to stand up to ~1750 fps with 300 gr. WFNGC's (cast from LYMAN #2), in my .460. I have also used it with several different plain-base bullets (from .38 to .500) cast from metal with a hardness of ~SAECO 7.
I just don't think I can endure another "rock up" event, with the LYMAN Black Lube. It rocked up so bad, I had to "re-thread" the spindle. Nevermore!
