new press or another sizer die

[corey012778]

I just got an 451 lee sizer.
I am using an lee handpress to size .458 405gr avg to .451 to use in an 45cal muzzleloader.

test the sizer with a few rejects that I have not remelted. take more then I got to size them. they avg .456 dia.

should I get an .454 sizer or get another press.

I have no where to mount an press.

corey, I'm not sure I understand but the press won't make any difference in the final dimensions of a sized bullet. ??

Yes get the .454, and reduce down in steps. Even with another press, .458-.451 is too much for 1 pass. I would not want to size down more than .002 to maybe .003 in one pass.

Buying multiple sizing dies, you could buy another mould the right size.
