I need to try and size the nose of my bore riding bullets in my .357 Max. I have a RCBS Lam 2 and a .357 die(whole bullets has already been sized to .358), I could run the nose in the lubsizer backwards? Or I have a Lee push thru .356 sizer, I could partially run them in and push back out? What is the best way to proceed? Thanks in advance for your replies, hc18flyer

Use the lubrisizer and run the bullets backwards. Back in the 80's Lyman made a series of dual diameter molds with lube grooves on the bore riding portion. It was pretty big in Sillywett circles for a time.

Get the NOE sizing setup and buy the nose bushings you want.

Nose sizing needs to be as close to bore dia as possible. To be exact you need to slug the throat and see what the bore (not groove) dia is at that point.
