  2. How do I get a .430 bullet to stay in a case with a .480 outer neck diameter?

    You obviously have no idea what a MH chamber looks like. It is cavernous with a 6”+ tapered leade. If you think you need to trim for safety you’ve never been anywhere near one of these. ‘Jeeez’

    Sticky: Lyman 45 buying guide and cleanup instructions

    No you don’t need a gas check tool. The mere act of sizing and lubing a bullet will seat and crimp the gas check at the same time.

    Lyman Sizing Die Part “I”

    Don’t worry about hardened surfaces. I’ve turned down brass rod on the lathe to use as the ‘I’ part on some of my homemade dies.
