If someone has one they are no long in need of, I need one to start me off. Currently casting 458, and 500 and soon to try 440
Let me know what you have.

I have a Lyman and a Star but I have found for rifle bullets I use the little Lee die and lube most.

for a long time i melted lube in a cup in the wave and dipped the boolits in it and set on some of that waxed paper then pushed through the sizer,cheap and effective.

I use a Star.

the Star is the only answer, especially of you load big bores.

Thanks Guys. I will see if I can find a used star as this will only be for 450 and 500 cast.

Star has been out of business for quite a while.

However you can get a Star designed lub machine from Magma at 480-987-9704.

They are @ $250.oo.

They can size up to a .585.

That was another thing I liked about the Lee sizer, the cost!

Will the Lee handle the .510 cast loads?

i agree with SS; liquid alox and lee push thru sizers are efficient, effective and inexpensive for all my ww2 milsurps. at 1800 fps velocities i find no leading in anything.

lee lists sizers up to .510" dia. and are easily honed out providing inexpensive, custom sizes.

i use liquid alox and lee sizers for all my sizing chores...my $$$ rcbs lubrisizer and dies sets are gathering dust.

If I was going to not load on a commercial basis and lube up just 4 or 5 hundred now & then, I'd get an RCBS I think. I have a Lyman and it leaks from the bottom. The RCBS can use Lyman dies but the ones they sell are better (also more $). Lee is great until I have to wipe off all the lube on the base before putting on the gas check. Depends on if you have lots of free time I guess.

I use lee push threw sizers and liquid alox I haven't use my lyman sizer in years. I lubed and sized about 6000 bullets last winter worked great. I use a 3 step process I light lube them the size them and the lube them again with the liquid alox it is fast and smiple I do up to 468 gr 45 cal bullets. I put cast checks on them during sizing.

I even taken lee sizers and polished them out sizes they don't carry but I needed.
