i need your help in this case

for my Pritchett Bullet Project i will try different way`s before i spend some money for a real Pritchett Mould.

Some shooters are using the Lee 575 or RCBS .575 and size them down

I found that the largest production Tool from lee are .510
are any ideas if and how i can open this one up to .571 ?

thx for any info

You can order custom sizing dies from Lee for 38.00. I just ordered a custom one, wait time is about 6 weeks. Here's the link to their custom dies.

I also have ordered custom sizing dies from Lee. I had them mad in .573 to .577, for sizing Minnie bullets for my Civil war Muskets. The work very good.
You can order custom sizing dies for lube sizers at "S & S Firearms" And "Lodgewood MFG", they will fit RCBS, and Lyman lube sizers.They have them up to around .585.
Going from .501 to .571 is a lot of grinding, to do at home without an I.D. Grinder.
