7mm boolits sized to .285, Who can enlarge the die to .286?

Titled says it all. I want to siz my boolits to .286 so that the bore riding portion is NOT sized.
Help!

I have an RCBS 7MM 145 Sil mold that when new dropped bullets with drive bands about .2853". My 7TCU chamber freebore is .287". The solution for me was that I sent the mold to Eric at "Hollow Point Molds" and he machined the mold, enlarging only in the drive bands. My mold originally delivered a nose of about .279" and that was fine with me, I size that part of the bullet to .277". Eric does fine work and I can suggest his service with confidence.

You may want to try the NOE push through dies for a .286"

i looked at the NOE setup but there isn't any further description of how it works. I am not familiar with the LEE system.

Here is a Youtube video on the Lee system.

If you're asking about enlarging the sizing die, and you're using the Lee sizing system it's a piece of cake. Take a cotter pin, a strip of fine sandpaper and a strip of thick paper for backing so it doesn't take as much sandpaper, clip it in the cotter pin and wind it around. Sand the sizing part of the die by hand, stopping now and then to size a boolit and see what you get.

"Beagle" the mold then run it through your appropriate sizing die. "Beagling" is temporary so you can return the mold to its original size. Do a search on Beagle here and you'll finds several threads and discussions. I've done it with a mold and have gotten very good results.
