Who makes a .460 sizing die that will fit the Lyman lube-sizer. The biggest I can find is .459. Thanks for any help. Jon

Buckshot, shoot him a PM for details.

Or hone out a smaller one. Slit the end of a .25" or larger brass rod, and put in a strip of 400 grit emery cloth long enough to make a tight fit in the die when rolled around the rod. Chuck the rod in a drill or drill press and spin it. Hold the die in your gloved hand and run it up and down on the emery. Pull it off and drive a lubed boolit through it and mike it. Careful, it doesn't take long.

I think Buckshot has a .461" for sale in swapping and selling right now. I don't know what gun you have, but my new Marlin Cowboy swallows .461" boolits just fine.

Same way I do my Lee dies. Great minds think alike.[smilie=1:
