Anyone know off hand the size of these "O" rings? I e-mailed Lyman and they say they are "very special and not available, except from them". Smells like barn yard to me. Anyway, I can't see waiting a week for the mail and paying shipping for such a small item, so if anyone can help me with the correct size I would appreciate it.

I've been able to get my "O" rings from a good automotive supply house. Might be worth checking with them. Take the stem and part in with you and they can more than likely fit yours. Mine cost me about $.40 each. wave


The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Picked up a bunch last week at the local hardware store. Take a good one off of a sizer and bring it with you, they should be able to match it.

Farm supply store for me. Any place that carries the stuff to repair hydraulics should have them.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had tried a number of "O" rings from the various hardware stores. Close but not perfect. It finally dawned on me that the die was RCBS, not Lyman (you have to get the old lube off of it to find the manufacturers mark). Long story short, one call to RCBS and they sent me 6. As usual RCBS is tops in customer service.
