I've been using the Lee push through sizers for years, and it occurred to me that with the Lee 533-410M Minie I might need to size it, even though the advertisement says will not need sizing.
BUT...apparently Lee discontinued the traditional push through and are making something called Breech Lock sizers. What the heck is that?
I haven't been able to cast anything yet due to weather, but soon, very soon...anyone have experience with this mold and this Bree Lock thingie?

The Lee Breech Lock sizers can only be used on their breech lock presses, or those which have been adapted to such. Isn't that convenient ($).

This looks like it similar in purpose to the Hornady Lock-n-Load.
I have no experience with either of the Lee items.

I don't have any of the NOE sizers yet. They may have an option for you? hc18flyer

I was just on Lee's site, and they are still showing the push through sizing kits. No mention of discontinuing them. They are even available on Amazon.

I always suggest the NOE sizing system. Once you have the basics, it’s inexpensive to get many different sizes to see which size boolits work best for you.
