Question on modifying RCBS LAM2 lube/sizer?

Post by Don2 »

Has anyone tried to modify the RCBS LAM2 lube/sizer to put a pneumatic cylinder to keep constant pressure on lube?
I've seen it done on a Star, would think it could be done to others with the right parts?

Any ideas?

It's just something I wanted to try, I know it's NOT needed.
Just an experiment. I have a few smaller pneumatic cylinders in my shop I could try, just looking for anyone with this experience.
Wish I knew how many pounds of pressure it took to push lube through it into the die. I know it depends on the type of lube also. ( soft/hard )
I do have a heater for it that would make things more equal as far as lube density.

Thanks

Looks like I'm on my own here :txflag:

I have a pneumatic cylinder I'm going to try soon, maybe it will work...or not.
It's really no big deal, it's just something I saw others do on other lube/sizers and wanted to try.

There is a German guy on YouTube ( wiederladerTv ) who did this and it seemed to work.
He has a lot of reloading videos.
But everything he does is in metric...I remember when I was in 5th grade here in Texas (MANY YEARS AGO!! )
They said that the Metric system will be used here exclusively in the future..!!!!
WRONG...!!! not 100% yet..!!!
I know it and understand it, but it's not my first thought when measuring.
