well I placed an order for some various reloading stuff and realized that the .459 lee sizer I ordered was out of stock. I was going to order the .458 but didn't want to make another order just for that so :Bright idea: I grabbed the Lee 45-70 boolit seater die, removed the top punch and screw top and shoved a boolit through ( my Lee 405 gr HB mould drops them at .463 " ) it came out the top at just a shade over .460 and now they chamber without having to give em a pinch in the resizer die. ( I was shooting them as cast and they were a little snug ). to push the boolit through I used and old 38-55 case with a 38 special case pushed in the neck so it would reach all the way through the die. Now, whhat to do with that $ 17 + tax I saved hmmmmmm:drinks:

I been trying to find one that would be 350, but haven't found one that size. I don't have a 338 seater to try and that one could be close.

Thanks for the tip. I have a snug fiting boolit too.
