bore riders

I don't understand what you mean by the in and out thing.? I do have a star sizer, would that be the easiest way? if so I would need the bushing, star adapter, and what else?

the nose sizers do look similar to the top part of a lyman sizing die, and if you pushed it in I bet you could pull it out by hand. I don't see how it could go in and out of anything since there is a larger diameter to deal with as well

http://www.accuratemolds.com/img/bul.../37-286C-D.png I am going to be getting this boolit when I get my rifle, my question is how much, if any do you want the bore riding section to engrave into the rifling? if the bore was .356 and the bore riding section was .357, would it be hard to chamber? thanks a lot guys!-Travis

I size the bore rider portion to just fit the bore (Probably not correct way but I check end of barrel--Want it to just slide in but with almost no wiggle. This just gets the initial alignment. I have found when load is worked up accuracy really starts at the point of full rifling engagement. As you go up in powder charge the bullet is deformed or obstruates (sp) to completely fill bore. Groups usually substantially reduce in size at this point. In my 308W size reduced 50%. Good luck and take good notes. Share your findings

I'm finding results like Bama even though I don't use bore-riders. The RD 30/30 jammed to the lands shot ok, any jump to the lands reduced accuracy. I use a washer to slightly nose size a similar boolit so it slightly engages the bore (only ~ 0.100" into the lands but not 'jammed'). 50% reduction in group size. Properly aligns the nose in the bore.

With the noe nose dies you need there push through size die body. When nose sizing with it you push just the nose up in to where it needs sized then there a piece that holds a nose punch to push it back down out of the die. Every thing comes with the kit you just need whatever size die to go with it

and it goes into the press, not the sizer, right?

Yes it mounts in your press
