So I've recently been powder coating my boolits and have had good success with my 9mm. I've run them through a Lee .356 sizing die AFTER they were powder coated and never had a problem. I recently purchased a Lee .357 sizing die to try a larger diameter boolit in my .355 barrel and the first PC boolit I ran up it stuck. When I say stuck, I mean stuck. The base of the boolit flattened out and filled the bottom of the sizing die.
I'm not sure if the die was sized wrong (it is labeled correctly) or what but now I have a sizing die filled with lead and I can't remove the boolit.
i tried pushing back from the top but the nose started to deform and I stopped. I could put the base in the melt of my casting pot and try to melt it out, not sure what that would do to the die. I could try and drill it out I suppose....
Thoughts?
