I used to have 3 of them but my ex-wife got them in the settlement. I really wish I had kept one just for seating gas checks. I now use nothing but Star lubricator/sizers. Wes

I don't have a Saeco sizer, I had a Lyman 450 that kept breaking so I bought a RCBS and gave the Lyman away. If the Saeco sizer is as good as their moulds are then it must be great. Gun writer Dean Grennell wrote glowingly of the Saeco sizer. He was also the only gun writer I ever remember writing about H&G moulds and how good they were.

I have a RCBS, two Stars, and a brand new SAECO.  I really would like to use the SAECO as it seems like a very high quality luber, but I cannot find nose punches to fit LBT molds.  Does anyone know if it is possible (and where) to get custom cut nose punches for LBT bullets?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not a fan of the Star sizers.

Best regards,

Trout Bum- Redding is closed until I believe the 18th. But if you give them a call, you can get blank top punch's from them, then possible send them out to Veral to have him cut in the proper shape  gypsyman

I REALLY didn't like my SAECO.  The leverage was horrible.  The main washer inverts when it finally fails.  SAECO repair kit came without instructions and a part you didn't need.  And putting that rubber washer back in correctly when you've only seen it inverted after failure is next to impossible.  This is the only SAECO product I would NOT recommend.

I've got several Lyman's, a couple RCBS's, a Lee and a Magma Star but I sold my SAECO and was glad to get rid of it!

Just got my Saeco Lubrisizer in last month.  It seems to work as advertised.  I just started casting, so it took me a little while to actually get lube down to the bullet.  It seemed to work fine after it got going.  I have nothing to compare it with, so can't say if it is any better or worse then the others on the market. 

I ended up with sized and lubed bullets that shot better then my commercially cast bullets.  That may be more a function of the bullet mold and lead alloy, but the Saeco didn't seem to do any harm.
