A job that took a Hard Pull on the Press Handle, Just became easy enough to do with 1 finger!!
Thanks Lou, I have re-sized these bullet both ways - with lube and without. Really doesn't make much difference. Resizing from 458 to 4535 is very easy. Then resizing the 4535 to 451 is really not difficult at all. Resizing from 458 to 451 is more difficult but nothing really difficult.
