I just purchased a 480 SRH yesterday and am currently looking for moulds/sizing dies/etc.
I'm thinking about ordering the 400gr Lee die for starters.
For sizing the only thing I could find was a RCBS .476" die, Lee doesn't seem to make a push through sizer for this boolit.

I don't have a clue as to which top punch will work, I've used the JB Weld trick in the past for fitting top punches for rifle bullets, but this is my first foray into cast bullets for a revolver.

Lastly, I'm not sure about lube- what I have on hand is a large amount of White Label beeswax/alox and LLA. Would either or both of these lubes be appropriate for this cartridge, or should I look at something else?

I had Lee turn a push-thru sizer for me, turnaround time was about 2 weeks. I used the 400 grain pill and was printing very acceptable groups both tumble lubing and pan lubing with White Label BAC.

Good boolit. Lee will make you a .476" push through die.

Ok thanks.

I'll give Lee a call.
