    Push through or other type bullet sizing die .550

    I'm working on another stupid project. I need a die, push through or otherwise, to size bullets to .550. If you know of one, please PM me.

    reminds me of the 550 Gibbs wildcat I did 7-8 years ago.

    I feel for you...

    Are you going to use this with a 7/8x14 threaded press? I am not sure if the final die wall will be thick enough.

    I figured I would have to pull the bushing from my Rockchucker and use the larger threaded opening. I have such a die in .720 for a huge Thumper single shot based on 3.5” 12 gauge brass hulls.

    Is plenty of room in the 7/8 x14 die. You can order a lee push through in .510 and have a machinest open it up fairly reasonably.
