So two of my old Colt SAA's in 44 special have groove diameters on the small end of the spectrum (.426 and .427).

I'm going to start sizing bullets specifically for them, but with them being a bit undersized I also want to size the brass down a bit more.

I know Lee manufactures what I am looking for, and I know that Lee makes the same thing and sells it to EGW for remarketing.

Any other options I should look at before purchasing? Any particular first hand experiences to relay?

I just had an issue with neck tension and jacketed bullets. The Lee .44 U die solved the issue. http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?294973-44mag-Sizing-Die-Issue

I also have a .380 U die from Lee because I had the same issue with jacketed bullets in the .380. So I use the U dies for jacketed and the standard die for cast.
