Body vs nose boolit sizer

[GregLaROCHE]

I’ve been looking at NOEs bushings. I have a bunch of there bushings already. I have always bought the body sizer bushings. Now I want to size down more than the body sizer they have listed, but they have a smaller one in nose sizer. Do nose sizers only size the nose? Do I need to special order from them for the body size I need?

Thanks

NOE's nose-sizers are used, primarily, to size the nose of bore-rider boolit designs and are intended to size only as far as the drive bands and, thus, require a nose punch to push the sized boolit back out of the die. Haven't tried it, but looking at mine, don't see any reason a nose-sizer couldn't be used as a push-thru. However, nose-sizers do not have a bevel on the entry (bottom) side so you'd probably need to grind/polish a bit of a taper there.
