need help

Ok got this at the gun show today. I know it is a single stage press but not sure what type. Also the die on the left says 45. Is this a 45 reshaper? The die on the right is unmarked. Not sure what it is bullet die ?

Lastly at the base of the press where he case would sit it looks like an insert but there is no groving. It says 450 on it.

I got this f or $25

Looks more like a Lubrisizer

Your right. Now what does this do? And what can I sell or trade this for.

If its a lubrisizer, it sizes cast bullets, and injects bullet lube into the grease grooves. You need top punches to match the bullet profile you are sizing (Usally the bullet mold will indicate what number top punch).

Lots of the lubrsizers will use heaters to melt the lube to get it to flow - not sure if the one you have has it.

FWIW, lots of casters use the inexpensive, and fast Lee set up to lube & size cast bullets, but someone may want that.

I cannot find anything that looks like this as a resizer. I am pretty sure this is a press. I found the markings of bd on it. I think its a dillon

 

[Deep Creek Rock]

Id be willing to bet its an old lubrisizer. The plunger at the bottom is what pushes the lube into the bullet bands. The "Press" part of that is what forces the bullet into the sizer, and sizes the bullet.

What make or model that is... I have no clue.

Looks like a lubrisizer to me too. Don't recognize brand.

It did come with a stick of greese but the dies as well. Where would I open it to get the greese in it? I tried turning the top allen screw handle and it just goes up or down hut does not loom like it effects the tool.

EDIT

Ok so I was able to get open and it is a luberesizer. So is this something I can resell or trade for some a simple hand press or some dies? Should I keep it?

Its a magma star lubrisizer without the heating option.

That's a Star lubrisizer and if it's in working condition worth a fair bit more than $25.

Really? You have this in the classified for $150?

 

[jpo183]

Yea thats what I was told I should look to get from it and the dies

 

[jimi8300]

What you have is a Magma lube/sizer. For $25 you did very well. Your photo shows the sizer with one sizing die in the machine, the size should be marked on the top flange of the sizing die, is that where you see .450? That is the die size.

The other two parts shown in your photo is another die and plunger or punch. There should be another punch set up in the machine to push the bullets into the die.

What size is your loose die? I am looking for .357 or .358 die/punch set.

Just an FYI, you should be able to net $200-250 for what is shown in the photo.
