Little update, just in case anyone is actually paying attention to this thread... Both of the LEE push through sizers I was waiting on, are here in the lab. I'll be checking the nominal sizes and...

Great info everybody, much appreciated!
Country gent, thank you for the well laid out, real world data. That's what I'm looking for! I'll post results when the experimental die sets get here.

I'm talking regular sizing. If I were installing checks, I'd definitely make a custom size post to fit the base! Thanks again ����

I was planning a similar approach. Appreciate the input! Those numbers were just thrown out for an example, I have a few dies that I want to open up a little. My initial thought was chucking them in...

I figured the best surface finish you can muster is best.
Do you think the piston needs to be that close of a fit? Fairly simple to spin one up on the lathe, but I don't see the need unless grossly...

No matter what I'm doing, there's a radio doing it's thing. I need background noise to keep myself focused. Old country usually gets it done. There's two cents.

Taylor's cattleman 44mag.

Talking about Lee boolit sizers specifically, but anything similar will help.
What are the best ways (read - best results) to open up a sizer body to get a larger finished diameter?
What kind of...

I've had one on a 300blk AR for a little while. Pretty clear for an inexpensive scope, has held adjustment through about 100 rounds. Turrets are plenty snug, so I wouldn't be concerned about knocking...

Thank you Indian Joe, that makes sense. I was only thinking in terms of straight wall cases. A wad in a bottle neck could be a whole mess.

Can't help you much, as I also have one in 50. They are hefty, for sure. I don't think you would shave off a significant amount of weight, however anything helps lugging it around all day.

Always nice to come across a gem like that! Picked up a solid NM Blackhawk in 45 Colt that had all the extra work done before I laid eyes on it. Great revolvers with a little tuning.

I meant why it doesn't have the same effect with smokeless. The general rule for BP is no air space.

Could you expand on the OP wad/GC and air space a little bit?

Apologies if this has been discussed, point me in the right direction please. I'm not technically looking for load data, because I think volumes have been written on lead over black powder. However,...

As with anything, what someone is willing to pay. No real collector value since it's not all original. The one similar example I have, came home with me for 150, knowing the sewer pipe barrel was...

Tripplebeards, I put those grips on my super wrangler and they look and feel a thousand times better than factory plastics. Can't count how many things showed up smashed in a plastic trash bag mailer...

Just checked a 93/1920 Oviedo action and barrel on the shelf. Full crest on front ring, but no caliber markings anywhere. Flat bottom bolt, thumb cut, 7x57. A chamber cast is your best bet.
