I have a couple, though not in that caliber. Most likely, the hole is the seating die's sliding sleeve will require enlargement, to accept the usually fat-for-caliber boolit.
The seating die is an updated version of Lyman's out-of-production Precision Alignment seating die. The sizing die is very similar to a Lee.
I like them.
Nope, do it yourself.
Cut a slit in an appropriate sized wooden dowel or metal rod, thread a piece of oiled wet/dry sandpaper into the slit, insert the dowel/rod in a drill/drill press, and have at it. I usually start with 400 grit, as the desired dimension nears, switch to 600, and finish with 1200.
Clean the sleeve often and check your progress with a sized and lubed boolit.
There may be other faster, easier, and perhaps more precise methods, but that's how I've done it to many sliding sleeves and lube/sizing dies.
I'll try that thanks for the info
You're most welcome.
462,
I was going to ask if you like them then I saw you said that, hehe
I got the dies today and the cast don't fit I played with the set up with some jacketed it will take some set tweaking to get they diled in you think it's worth the hasel
how is the sizing die different then the RCBS
RACWIN375,
PM inbound.
I called Hornady and they are going to make an aliment sleeve .379
so I will have one for J bullets and one for cast should be $25
they said the aliment sleeve is case harden hummm
I use a Hornady New Dimension seater die for 338 WM. Boolits sized at .340 work just fine.
