I slugged my barrel and it came out .3085 so I was looking for a Lee .310 Size kit, but it looks like there is no such animal, they have .308, .309, and .311, but .310 is conspicuously missing???

Any idea why?

You can enlarge a .308" or .309" to any size less than .311".

Check out the Ranch Dog website. You can click on the banner on the top of the page.
I bought a Lee .310 sizing kit from him when I bought my RD 311-165 mold.
Or you could hone out a RCBS or Lyman .309 die.
Good luck, jmsj

The Lee dies are quite easy to open with abrasive paper or abrasive coated boolits. It doesn't take long at all.

tdale4,
I lost my train of thought in my last post you were looking for a Lee sizing die not a RCBS or Lyman.
Ranch Dog does sell a Lee .310 sizing die
Bret4207 is right it doesn't take long and is pretty easy to open up a Lee sizing die .001
Sorry about the brain fart.

Thanks for the answers,

I guess I'll order from Ranch Dog....just seems strange Lee doesn't make .310 as a standard kit.

Lee will make you whatever size you want for less than 30$
