I'm hoping to find a .316" sizing die to fit my RCBS Lube-Sizer, that size doesn't seem to be offered by RCBS or Lyman. Any ideas on where I might find one or get one made?

I would PM lathesmith on This Forum. He advertises Star dies but Lyman/RCBS shouldn't be a stretch.

Mal Paso means Bad Pass, just so you know.
If he can't make one maybe Buffalo Arms could machine one . They made me several Saeco size dies for a 480 Ruger.
I've made one for my Lyman 450, but haven't tested it yet. It was made from mild steel, so probably won't last forever even if I did get it right. I can about get to the reloading bench. I'll try to test it out this week, and let you know if it worked. I would not quit looking for one just yet, though.

Thanks for the link, dh2. They don't have them available right now, so I've signed up to be notified when they do. Much appreciated!
