« 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.
