Where do you get a non standard sizing die for a Lyman 450? I need a .460 lube/sizing die for one and I see Lyman only makes up to .459.

Thanks,
Bill

Since they already have 99% of the work done, I'd contact them.

Buffalo Arms has the Lyman in .459. : https://www.buffaloarms.com/459-lyman-sizing-die-lym2766530


You can "Open Up" the die to .460 with a little hand polishing. Here on Cast Boolits there has been discussion several times on the process of doing this. Here's a link to one of those discussions: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?46144-honing-a-Lee-sizing-die

If you cast with a hard alloy, the after sizing dia would most likely be closer to 460 than 459 after running it through a 459 die
