Brushwood Bruce 1 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Looking for a lube sizer, anyone out there have one they can part with? Preferably with a .454 sizing die with it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cholla 1,526 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I recommend you both join cast boolits. They are for sale there regularly. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/forum.php 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warden Callaway 4,921 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 With these crazy times, getting a lubesizer at any reasonable price is going to be a stroke of luck. There are other things to try. If you are shooting them in pistols, often times regular lube bullets will get you by. In a rifle, pull a wet bore snake through the bore between stages helps. You can put lube over top of the bullets in the chambers of the pistol - like cap and ball pistols. I did this so I could shoot an antique Frontier Six Shooter. If you just feel the need to lube but not size, there are a number of ways to accomplish this without a lubesizer. Something to try while you're watching for a lubesizer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cholla 1,526 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I have a lubesizer but I am not selling it just yet. But I did unbolt it from my bench and place it in storage as I am now PCing my bullets. It is a million times easier than using a lubesizer. After I am done PCing the bullets I spray some sizing lube on them and run them through a Lee push-through sizer. In reality that is a step I most likely don't need to take. FortuneCookie45LC has many videos of the process on Youtube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use mainly Bullet Corp coating, higher production rate the PC, but wanting to shoot some BP cartridge stuff so I need an actual lubed bullet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Atcher, SASS #54380 18 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I just checked, the only .45 cal dies I have are .452, .458, and .459. Edited March 16 by Randy Atcher, SASS #54380 Wrong size dies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warden Callaway 4,921 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Lots of folks are saying they have stopped using the goopy black powder lube when using poly coated bullets. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 740 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 HMM, I shoot lots of Blackpowder bullets, so does my daughter. What is this goopy BP lube you are referring to? Don't use it myself. And I'm pretty sure lubing my bullets with my lubrisizer is not a million times more difficult than using a PC coating. I mean, ya gotta size them anyway, right? Maybe I am just too lazy to try new things, instead of just using my Star sizer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warden Callaway 4,921 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I've been shooting BlackMZ with no lube at all. When I got the old black powder Colt I wanted to shoot real black powder. I got my old Lyman 450 out and lubed up a bunch with Javalina lube. The lube is half beeswax and Alox. I understand it duplicated an old NRA mix. It works great. It was a labor of nostalgia. I later ordered up some bullets from Missouri Bullet Company with black powder lube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
