I don't want to buy the dies for this round.
I just want to neck size and seat the bullet.
Besides making some dies, any ideas what might work?????

If its just for a few rounds, you could probably make a pusher rod to set on the shell holder and use .223 or .222 dies with the decapping assembly removed. Decap and drive the case out of the die with another piece of rod stock. Play with the length of the pusher rod to get the sizing where you need it and you could make another for the seating die. Maybe even 5/16" wood dowel if you only need a couple.

Sounds like a plan.
Could probably do the same for a seater die.
Thanks
