noe sizing die question

[porthos]

haven't been able to contact noe to place a order; so, i will make my own sizing die push rods. but, i have a question. for those of you that have the push rods for the various calibers; what is the diameter of 6.5 mm, 7 mm and 30 cal. push rods??

If I was making my own , I would make them 4-5 thousands smaller than the smallest die that they were used with. I have many & they are loose in a box & I grab what looks close & just make sure it fits through. You can always make smaller. I probably end up using a 6.5 in a .284 so times with no problem , but I’m sure closer fit is better.

Just measured my .30cal Lee and NOE push rods. Both are .304. My body size dies are .309 and .310.
