358 bullet sizing question

[drw]

Can a .358 bullet be sized down to a .356 bullet. Do you have to use multiple sizing lube dies to
progress downward from .358 to .356????

Yes. .O02" is not a problem unless the alloy is extremely hard.

if this is about making 9mm bullets from 357 bullets the size down may not be necessary.
many 9m barrels are already at 357-8 diameter.

Not productive to resize an OVER WEIGHT bullet for a 9mm.

Try to stay 147 grains or below for 9mm.

I've shot 160's out of my nine with splendid accuracy. Lee 358-158 to be exact. BUT, if you are a beginner reloader, follow published load data and stay within it's limits until you gain experience.
