My distain for the Lyman 450 is legendary.

I have made up a list of new cuss words just to sling at it exclusively. Until I FINALLY get it adjusted correctly. Then it works like a charm. I usually really get goo'd up first. I love it when it pulls off the gas checks and irons them to the top of the ejector piston. And when I forget to de-pressurize it and come back to witness the lubricated carnage.

It's a challenge! Personal quest!

If I ever came into a good Star kit at a super bargain I might jump in. I'm set on the Lyman/RCBS kit, sizers, nose plugs etc. I have a rare .352" sizer and even a #303 nose plug for that pointy Lyman .44 bullet! Too easy to get parts cheap.

I'm a bit skeptical about plugging the Star holes with BB's. Don't let Gary see this post, I'm a little worried about his blood pressure... "Star" is right up there with Headspace and barrel twist! LOL
