Let me know. I have a bunch of sizer dies that don't fit my Star sizer. I think Tank said they were Lyman or RCBS.

Nothing wrong with an RCBS lube sizer, I've had one for ever, also have a Lyman & a Star. Be careful with the star that you don't bend the handle when powder coating some bullets with long bearing surfaces. I've mentioned this before but for those that might be new, if you have trouble getting your powder coated slugs through your Star sizer DON'T bend your handle. Spray your bullets with Hornady One Shot Case Lube in a big tray & then they will zip right through, other bullets won't need it but I guarantee some will.

I've only ever used a Star. Bent a couple handles. But my sizer is over 35 years old and still runs like a champ!

I buy the Lee sizers. Have a few Lee Custom Shop dies to Taylor loads to specific guns. They work great.

I know several guys that use the Lee sizers with great success, I've never tried one but that would be a good way to start without the expense of buying a lube sizer. I don't think they cover all the bases but perhaps they will add to their inventory with so many guys starting to powder coat.

All the RCBS equipment has a lifetime guarantee & I've always had great success with it but with all the movement towards powder coating you can buy a lot of Lee dies for the cost of an RCBS lubri sizer. I've never bought Lee equipment of any kind but for the sizing application I think it's a pretty good way to go, I might be wrong but I know many of my good buddies are using them with no problems.
