    Does anyone make?

    I need a custom spud for my Lyman M die. My cylinder throats are .454" in my 45 colt, and the spud I have doesn't open the case enough and the bullet gets sized down.


    I seem to remember that someone on the board made these?

    If you plan to roll crimp 0.001" smaller is OK. In cartridges which are taper crmiped only go 0.002"

    Wouldn't a universal expanding die work?

    The Universal expanding die only opens the case mouth wider. It does nothing to expand the case body below the mouth of the case.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    Thanks, I misread the post concerning "spud".
