SAECO 45 acp 230gr rn standard GI profile bullet.
New Sizer die.
Lathesmith die with top holes open. Others closed.
Midway heated base. Set the same as thousands of bullets before it.
Magma Red lube
I have done tens of thousands of bullets on this Star Sizer before.
No matter what I do, I can't get this thing to line up with the lube hole and the lube groove.
For over an hour, I started from the top (punch as far up into the Star body as possible) and turned the punch a tiny bit deeper each time. No dice.
I measured 1 7/32" to start as they recommend and went up and down from there.
I am beginning to wonder if this thing has any pressure in it at all.
Any thoughts?
