Im thinking about snatching up one of these
http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_in ... cts_id=351
Id like to size it to .378 using a Lee type push through sizer, but i'm not real experienced with finding stuff related to casting. Any help would be appreciated!

Not sure what exactly you're asking? What you going to use it in?

Re: Odd Push Through Sizing Die
I slugged the bore of my 375 Ruger and its bore is .376. I'd like to get your design, size it down to .378, and run it about like a 375 Winchester. But on Lee's website I couldn't find a Lee sizing kit for that diameter. Where can I get a sizer that size?

Re: Odd Push Through Sizing Die
NOE makes a .378 push through sizing die. It is a body that uses inserts. I have one that I use to size the nose of a 45 cal lee bore rider. The cost of the main kit is a bit more than the Lee, but the inserts for the many sizes are only $9.99. The other thing you can do is get somebody to make one for you. and lastly you can get a Lee .357 die and ream and polish it out to .378.

Lee is taking custom orders now.

Here's a link to Lee's custom bullet sizing dies.
You can also try to open up an existing bullet sizing die, but the jump from .358 to .378 might be a bridge too far...

Any recommendations on paper grit size? I think his first one was 320. What oil was he putting on it?
