Odd Push Through Sizing Die
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!

Re: Odd Push Through Sizing Die
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...

Re: Odd Push Through Sizing Die
Any recommendations on paper grit size? I think his first one was 320. What oil was he putting on it?
