I'm looking for someone who would like to make a few bucks. I have a friend who is just getting back into casting and some old dies, I believe they are lyman, and want to get them reamed to a larger size.

Dies are typically too hard to modify properly. Been that route. Cheaper to start fresh and have a die made up from scratch. If you are not going to shoot the gun often, use hand held dies for better results. Otherwise, go the standard route. Suggest Bonanza/Forester for an accurate gun, but not BR which does better with the hand dies.
Talking about rifles here. ... felix

Dependent on how much larger "Beagle the mould." Otherwise Felix has good advise.

Loading dies are the hard ones. Not sure about the boolit sizing dies. They don't seem to be as hard by a long shot. ... felix
