Up sizing boolists in a lee sizer?

[robertjneff2000]

Purely an academic question, but lets say your mold is dropping a .355 boolit, and you need it more around .357, can you run the .355 through a .357 sizer to fatten it up?

No, dont believe that will work. The lee die, is a push thru die, and the small bullet will just fall right thru. The lyman and rcbs sizers are not push thru dies but but I dont believe you would get an consistantcy it the press would even do it. Probably brake something.

You would need a swaging setup to do that.

No, that won't work, but if you need your Lee mold to drop .357 sized boolits, Beagle it. Do a search on this site for how to Beagle a Lee mold.

You can Bump boolits up in size in a RCBS lubesizer with a good fitting nose punch. Just a good bump at the bottom of the stroke. Go very far and you will extrude lead into the lube holes. Works well with acww and 50/50.
