Description
A vintage bullet sizer and lubricator press manufactured by SAECO Reloading Inc. of Carpinteria, California. This specialized tool is essential for hand-loaders who cast their own bullets, utilized for precise sizing and lubrication application. The device features a robust, heavy textured black cast metal frame supported by four vertical polished steel guide rods. Operation is achieved via a linkage lever assembly, featuring a flat silvery metal arm tipped with an orange plastic grip. The upper section includes a separate, knurled, threaded vertical ram assembly capped with a matching orange handle. The central linkage pivot point bears the original circular manufacturer’s label, clearly marked: “S-A-E-C-O,” “CARPINTERIA CALIFORNIA,” and “SAECO RELOADING INC.” This durable design is characteristic of classic SAECO reloading equipment, often cross-referenced with Redding Reloading. The press is designed to be bench-mounted. No dies, sizing components, or lubricant reservoir parts are included.
