I recently got a Lyman 450 in a lot purchase. I've never used one, they always seemed too expensive and complicated. Since this one's already payed for, and it's debatable how much I have invested, I thought about keeping it. I'm not a big fan of wax/grease lubes, partly because I've got almost a lifetime supply of LLA from sizer purchases. I also had some commercial bullets gum up a Dan Wesson, and that was annoying. I do make my own lube and use a cake cutter and Lee pushthroughs sometimes, so I'm not 100% against it and need that type for blackpowder.
So counting all the adjusting and fuss, and the top punches and new sizers to buy,if I were to only do small batches and not that many total a year, would I be better off with the Lyman or pan lubing? Could I just use one big flat top punch for all my flatnose bullets?
