Thanks guys

So far the one's I've had to buy from RCBS have worked in my Lyman 450/4500 lubers.

Yes...but remember that RCBS has a better warranty.

At least it seems so to me....

The word is that the RCBS sizer has a stronger linkage, but Lyman dies have a better finish. This makes for easier operation and less stain on my creaky elbow. There is a bit of a problem with some Lyman 4500 sizers and some older dies. The die cavity in the 4500 is finished to minimum dimensions and some older dies are too fat to fit without some polishing.

The reason I was asking is that I'd perfer the RCBS. Best folks in the world to stand by you if you have a problem. RCBS is definately worth a wee bit extra.

Ditto that. Most manufacturers of reloading gear provide strong customer support. This benefits the entire reloading community. I always make it a point to followup with a "thank you" email whenever I receive help from these folks.

St Michael I've got the RCBS Lubrisizer as well. It's a GREAT piece of equipment!
The only issues I've had is that I should have degreased and flush it before using (metal chips), and I chewed up a gasket. Fortunately, the local hardware store has similar ones, I bought extra and I'm good to go.

Happy Shootin'! -Tom
