While contemplating the 225438, I was comparing a current Lyman .225 and an RCBS .225 H&I sizing die.
It may be due to lack of alcohol... Lyman has pairs of lube ports, one above the other, at 90 degree spacing towards the top 1/3rd of the H&I die. RCBS has single ports at 90 degree spacing, pretty much the same distance down as the lowest Lyman lube ports...
Perhaps... Lyman bullets tend more to Loverin designs, or more lube grooves, while the RCBS has more nose rider bullets... If I was jacking the handle on some RCBS 7MM-145-SILs, the RCBS H&I die with a single ring of lube ports would be sweet.
