A friend gave me this last year, obviously an older version and it had been knocking around his barn for a while. He noticed I was saving lead, and I guess he felt sorry for me.
After a couple hours of cleaning off the rust and poop, I don't think there has ever been lube in the unit, looks new inside.
Not set up yet to cast anything, but slowly wandering that direction....it's missing a few things so I want to make sure I order the right stuff once instead of paying shipping over and over.
This die is marked 357 and missing a top punch.
Will this die work for 38 spec/357 or should I order the next size up, a .358?
A .452 die for .45 auto, correct?
The reservoir cover(#1) is not there, I suppose the cover from a modern 450 will work?
Gas check seater(#15) for the newer version fit this model?
And lastly....which Lyman lube would be recommended for 38/357 and 45 auto, without using a heater(at least for now)?
Assistance appreciated.
