Well I think I had a similar issue but I discovered “How to hone a size die” by Buckshot here. https://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?28989-Honing-out-a-sizing-die

At the end it talked...

I am now 66. Casting got me hooked in 1984, reloading with my Dad started around 1971. Lots of very old ideal and Lyman molds. I have like 7 lubesizers. A couple are Lyman 45s. Can you have too many...

I prefer the Dillon pistol dies for my 45 colt. I have been very happy with them, I really like being able to take out the seating punch and being able to clean it without having to unscrew a stem. I...

Stubshaft, glad you liked it. Thanks for taking it off my hands.

MT2DAY- You probably will not be able to readily find exactly that thickness of gas check again, especially if they are indeed old. My experience has been that the gas check thickness is more an...

I just wait until the mold is cool. Then I put it in a sandwich bag with 3 in 1 oil. Put rubber band around the bag and put it away. When I need it again I put some Acetone in a metal bowl and give...
