I sure would like a copy of Glen's book. I've been casting since 1982, but Glen's book has stuff that I never knew about. I also run at least 3 molds to keep temps down on the molds. Usually a 6 cavity, a 4 cavity and then a 2 or 1 cavity. The 2 and 1 cavities are a PITA, but they do make nice CB's. I like the RCBS sizer or the old Lyman 45. The Lyman 450 I just didn't like. The Stars are expensive but very nice. I have too much tied up in the RCBS sizer (have 2) to switch. I rigged a computer cooling fan inside of a dryer hose, rigged a cardboard box and vented it outside from my loading room. Works great. LBT soft lube works great for all CB's, but I only us it for rifles and hot loaded handcannons. I make my own lube for slow moving staight walled pistol cases. Lee makes a push through sizer that I use for many 'weird' cartridges I have....like the 455Webley and S&W that need .457 dia. You can also get custom sizes from Lee for paperpatching applications.
