I'm hoping to find a .316" sizing die to fit my RCBS Lube-Sizer, that size doesn't seem to be offered by RCBS or Lyman. Any ideas on where I might find one or get one made?

I would PM lathesmith on This Forum. He advertises Star dies but Lyman/RCBS shouldn't be a stretch.

If he can't make one maybe Buffalo Arms could machine one . They made me several Saeco size dies for a 480 Ruger.

I've made one for my Lyman 450, but haven't tested it yet. It was made from mild steel, so probably won't last forever even if I did get it right. I can about get to the reloading bench. I'll try to test it out this week, and let you know if it worked. I would not quit looking for one just yet, though.
