What is the difference between the RCBS Lube-A-Matic &
the RCBS Lube-A-Matic 2?

Can someone tell me what is the difference between these two models?

Which two models?? You only list one, or do you mean between the "original" Lube-A-Matic and the Lube-A-Matic 2???

Ok, I see your question now.

Original Lubamatic was built by Lachmiller, which was bought and continued virtually unchanged by RCBS.

Instruction manual for it is here:

http://www.rcbs.com/downloads/...tic_Instructions.pdf

Lubamatic 2 primary difference is the mechanism that puts pressure on the lube chamber to squeeze lube down and into the sizer die.

Instruction manual located here:

http://www.rcbs.com/downloads/...c_2_Instructions.pdf

Original Lubeamatic had a small wrench that interfaced with the main handle to automatically turn the screw to pressure the lube.

Lubeamatic 2, you have to manually tighten the lube plunger....It is actually less "automatic" than the original.

I have owned both, and they both worked well.

Hope this helps

G'Day Barstooler,

Thank you for your informative response.

My main concern was that the sizing dies and or the top punch may have been different, from the Original and #2.

Your The Best!!!

If the sizer leaks out the bottom,or the threaded pressure screw wants to turn,but not apply pressure on the Lyman 45,450 or the RCBS LAM try putting a small washer underneath the base in the rounded recess,this will keep it pushed up enough that it will not give you any more problems.

G'Day Jeffstamper,

Thank you for the tip on using a strategically placed Washer.
