    NOE has them in stock

    375Cal .379 Body Bushing (B379) $9.75
    http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product...oducts_id=2554

    375Cal .380 Body Bushing (B380) $9.75
    http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product...oducts_id=2555

    375Cal Push Rod $7.50
    http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product...oducts_id=2559

    You need to buy their Push through size die body $39.95

    http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/index.php?cPath=104_410

    Once you have the Push through size die body $39.95
    the body bushings run $9.75 per size
    one push rod covers everything in that caliber $7.50 [Lee push through dies work]
    diameter changes will cost less money
    you have a lot more diameters to choose from
    they also have nos sizing bushings
    you can use the Lee red boolit catcher thingy

    AND you can store a lot more dies in a smaller container


    Before I discovered NOE size dies I would enlarge Lee size dies with a dowel and sandpaper

    If you need .379 and .380, how large are you bullets casting?

    I don't cast anymore, I'm buying commercial.
    They are .381, they come without GC, so I need to install the checks and resize to .380 and 379

    Buckshot used to do it, but he no longer does.

    I have had DougGuy do several for me and have been happy with the results.

    I just ordered push through bushings from NOE and also a couple case neck expanders ( these are made to work with Lee's case neck expander die). Must have stuff for cast boolit rifle shooting.

    Get the lee die that is just under the size you want, thy are not that hard to lap out to the size you want. A split rod and some fine wet/dri sand paper is all you need.

    I just started casting, got the first Lee push through sizer. needed to go up a size. Its 30.00 to have one made at Lee, they will make any
    size you ask. I opted for the bushing sizer from NOE. Each bushing is 9.95 and you need one push rod per caliber at 7.00. For the price of 1 Lee, I got 3 for my 38's and got 2 for the 44
