newbie, ordered delux lubesizer
« on: May 27, 2013, 04:40:21 pm »
Yep, a month ago, i ordered a delux lubesizer, most all accessories, Bout 800$.

Some things i need to make sure i have.

If ya know any more let me know here.
Magma star

catalog
die removal tool
slider & tube (9&45)
5/16 reversible pin vise
15" lube tube
hard blue lube only, no sticky stuff.

post below:

As Lathesmith mentioned the groove in the boolit  has to be centered with the lube holes. I pulled the die and inserted a "sized boolit" into the die and pushed it thru until I could feel the groove come into alignment with a "jewelers screwdriver"  inserted into the lube hole. I simple inserted the die into the machine and with the  [ "ram at its lowest point" ],  I adjusted the punch until it touched the bullet base. Guess what?

My thoughts: Max pressure, adjust with the PID control until the nose dots are gone, Let out the push rod a few turns and then adjust the boolit punch the correct height to allow for the "bounce" This should fix you problem.

I found that when I ordered dies from Lathesmith, I ordered top punches with locking nuts. Once adjusted properly, I keep the punches and the dies as a set. Changeover is a snap, no further adjustments required.

I'm sure you will be very happy with your Lubesizer.   They can be a little tricky to get adjusted just right but once you find the sweet spot (temperature & pressure) you can size a lot of bullets fast. 

Down the road you might want to consider the air feed for the lube.  I found it to be a great accessory.

I didn't realize that Magma offered the longer lube reservoir.  I have heard of Stars with that option, but they are pretty rare.
