Bullet swaging equipment

[devster55]

I had a friend who doesn’t reload come across some older casting and reloading gear. There is a Lyman 450 swaging press with a electric heater on it, SAS bullet swaging press, lee 10lb melting pot, RCBS 10-10 scale a few tumblers and lee pro 1000 press that seems to be missing some stuff which I don’t really have interest in since I have a Dillon 550. My main question is about the SAS bullet swaging press. Is it worth picking up or passing on. His prices are not bad but he would like to sell as a package. What do they normally sell for if I wanted to get rid of it or should I keep it and try it out?

There is also a 12ga mec press with some accessories as well in the lot.

I thought the Lyman 450 was a lubri-sizer.

I honestly have no idea of names. I googled Lyman sizing press and it was identical. Casting intrigues me so I figured I’d ask about them.

Bullet sizing press takes a cast bullet and squeezes it down a couple/few thousandths of an inch. Lubrisizer does the same, but also applies bullet lube at the same time.

A bullet swaging press takes lead wire, and forms a bullet from that. Usually a much heavier press than is required for sizing a cast (pre-formed) bullet.

Similar idea though; sort of like a go cart vs a semi truck.

if you are looking to keep some items and sell some items, I would be interested in the lyman and the pro 1000 parts.
