Pistol bullets may have one or two lube grooves plus a crimp groove. If you bring the bullet up out of the die and the top groove is not quite filled all the way, lowering the bullet into the die a second time will usually fill the groove without any further cranking. If the depth is adjusted correctly, usually a very small pull on the crank will fill the grooves properly. Once you have it adjusted properly for depth, you then have to use the lube pump crank just right or you may still cause lube to seep up around the bullet.

It sounds to me like your adjustment of the bullet stop is too low and allowing the bullet to go too far down into the die. SIZING DIE, Precision machined for use with Lyman 450/4500 Luber-Sizer. Lubing bullets is a delicate practice one needs to learn to keep from getting lube migrating past the bullet while the bullet is in the sizing die.

The difference I see is a thicker top lip and the chamfer on the bottom is larger than the lyman. I put the die in and it bottomed out even though the lyman dies are the same length. New Listing LYMAN 450 Bullet Lube Sizer + Lyman Universal Heater, 3 dies,+ 16 top punches.

I have always used regular Lyman and RCBS lube sticks, and have never used any type of heater pads under the Lubrisizer. Just tried to install a RCBS Lubrisizer in a Lyman 450 and it won't fit. I staarted sizing and lubing bullets with a Lyman 45 and then bought a Lyman 450 when they first came out.
