Lyman sizer dies in an RCBS machine
« on: February 04, 2009, 03:08:03 AM »
I have a 452 lyman die in an RCBS machine to size standard 230 gr round noses.  The problem is that I cannot raise the stop high enough to keep lube off of the beginning of the ogive.  I think that the holes in the die are higher than the rcbs model.

So, I made a sleeve to fit at the top of the adjustment screw 3/16ths long, thus raising the stop by that much.  Fixed the problem, easy to do.

I just used a grade 5 nut, drilled the threads out and polished the inside, flattened the top and bottom.  Looks great and works like a champ

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.  Ronaldus Maximus

I've noticed the same thing. They work but the RCBS dies work better.
