Does anyone know where I could get a lube/size die for a Lyman 4500? Lyman and RCBS only make them .431 and I need one .432 or .433 for a Marlin .444 that slugs to .431.

If I'm not mistaken forum member Lathesmith makes those any size you want.

Lathesmith makes these. Just ordered a .515 H&I from him.

Also look into Buckshot here on the forum, he does excellent work.

..............I discontinued my custom machining business in April of 2016. The only dies I continue to sell are those (Lee & Lyman) that I have in inventory. The Lyman .432" die was by far THE most popular size by far. Those were gone by the Fall :-)

with lathesmith, and lyman style dies, does he make the complete die, or do you send him one to re-size? he has made me a star die or two, and is very good!

Buffalo Arms makes them also. Right now they are out of stock. You call them to check when they are making good them again.

I just made a custom .360 for my bh. I'm now making a .432 for my sbh. I made one from an old 7/8" farm bolt to fit in a single line press. Really quite easy. Nope won't fit Lyman press, but does work quite fine with pan lubed boolits.
