LEE Bullet Sizer & Punch .495 diameter

Kit for calibration of lead bullets with .495 diameter, also allows to seat and crimp gaschecks.

In order to use the Bullet Sizer & Punch Set, it is necessary to own a universal Breech Lock Bullet Sizer Kit into which the caliber (called Sizer) is inserted. The set was designed specifically for the Lee Automatic Processing Press (APP), but is suitable for any single-operation press with Breech Lock quick-change inserts.

Shot calibration

Mount the universal die with calibration insert on any press with Breech-Lock quick-change inserts and place the extrusion mandrel in place of the cartridge holder. Each bullet is pushed through the calibration press to calibrate them to the same diameter.

Lubrication of bullets

The lead bullet must be lubricated twice, for example LEE LIQUID ALOX is suitable. The first time before calibration and the second time after calibration. Lubrication is quick and easy. Place the bullets in a suitable container (plastic round bowl, smaller bucket...) in about one layer, add a little lubricant and start swirling the container so that the bullets overlap and lubricate each other. After a short time check if the missiles are lubricated. Depending on this, either continue lubricating (circular motion) or add lubricant. After lubrication, dump the missiles on waxed paper and let them dry, depending on temperature and humidity for about 24h.
