Part of my ongoing saga to get a Kodiak Express with a tight bore shooting.
I have a maxiball mould that spits them out at .542. Thing is, I have a bore of .532 and groove at .542.
Looking at getting a Lee push sizer (the 0.510) and having it reamed out (Lee could make one, but their custom shop is on hold, apparently).
Just curious if I'll be fighting with it too much and should get a custom mold built, or if I can get the .542 down to a suitable size.
Figure it would be easier since I'm working pure lead.
I have a pedersoli sizer and can get them down to .538, but it's still too tight of a fit.
FWIW, I have a custom rod tip and short starter on the way with a proper angle, and would prefer as tight of a fit as prudent, but would like to get the diameter down to not make loading a major effort.
