    Could get by with a 3/32" Also 2" pieces would work.

    care to give us an idea of what you are doing ?

    7/8-14 screams die's ... if so , bolts and all thread are a poor choice along with mild steel .

    depending on your needs , if you wanted to pay the freight i can thread a couple pieces of 01 and drill the pilot hole as deep as the drills i have on hand allow (1.5")

    In that case, you could consider counter drillling a larger size from the top and making your ejector pin of two diameters, for strength. Your small bore hole need be only the length of a bullet plus, say, a quarter inch.

    You dies makers chime in here, see if I make sense.
