Just replaced the pressure nut on my 450 sizer. I bought this sizer used in the mid 70's, after using it a couple of years the pressure screw broke so I replaced it. Then about 2 years ago the pressure nut wore out. It was the old style with a rubber coating and the rubber coating wore out. This sizer has sized thousands of bullet and I wanted to switch to a hard lube that would require a heater so I purchased another 450 sizer and made a heater plate that I could use an iron for a heat source and it works really well.
So way back when my original sizer failed I ordered a pressure nut for it. Well this morning I finally got around to replacing it. The old sizer is back up and running. Sized a few hundred bullets with it this morning. Now I can use hard lube on the bullets that I drive a little faster and soft lube on my plinking loads.
