If I was making my own , I would make them 4-5 thousands smaller than the smallest die that they were used with. I have many & they are loose in a box & I grab what looks close & just make sure it fits through. You can always make smaller. I probably end up using a 6.5 in a .284 so times with no problem , but I’m sure closer fit is better.
Just measured my .30cal Lee and NOE push rods. Both are .304. My body size dies are .309 and .310.
