New 2020, Lee Bullet Sizer!!!

Post by Ranch Dog »

I was just clicking around on the Lee website and for the first time noticed that they don't have any "Closeouts". Clicked around and noticed they have some changes to the Lock Rings and Breech Lock Bushings to include lock wrenches. That led to me finding new Bullet Sizing dies that fit the Breech Lock presses.

Okay, that led me to a stand-alone bullet sizer. I only found one picture of it, it does not have a product page yet, but the sizer die instructions has references to it.

This will be perfect for feeding powder coated bullets. Say goodby, Lyman 4500.

Looks like a nice tool. As a non-caster my use for it is small, though.

I just checked for the lock rings you mentioned. I think I need to order a bunch of these. While I love the O-rings in the LEE lock rings, I missed a good and grippy surface. Tightening a hex head by hand is nowhere comfortable. And the cross bolt will keep them in place on the die for sure.

I too believe I will be getting some of the new lock rings. I really wonder what the price will be for the bullet sizer press.

I'm going through Lees site right now, can't find it anywhere?
Does look interesting :) But then again, most equipment does.
At least to me :)

From the pic, it doesn't appear to lube, or does it?

You find it in the new products section.

https://leeprecision.com/ultimate-lock- ... -pack.html
https://leeprecision.com/bl-bullet-sizer-kit.html

The new style sizing dies seem to be available. There you'll see a picture of the new sizing press, and in the manual for the sizing dies, you even get the item numbers for two types of sizing press. The press itself isn't listed yet.

The "system" is still designed for tumble lubed bullets with notes about Liquid Alox to be used with bullets passing through the press. It's perfect for powder coated bullets.

My only thoughts are how soon are custom dies going to be available?
