I bought a custom size push through sizing die from someone here about 2 years ago and I need a couple of more but for the life of me, I can't find the thread. Who sells custom made push through sizers?

Buckshot used to make them, but I think he stopped doing them.

I contacted buckshot a while back and he did indeed stop doing custom work.

Did he grind the inside diameter, or just a standard lathe cut?

Before going custom, I recommend you check out the NOE bushing system. He has a really good selection of bushings.

If you get something and then decide you want to go slightly smaller or bigger, the cost of a new bushing is very reasonable.

Lee has several odd sizes for them on their website that they have left over from a custom order. A good tome to order a few that they don't normally produce and sell.
Good Luck,
Rick

I have a couple of sizers from Buckshot as well as a couple of Lee dies that I modified myself. Lately I've just been going to NOE and buying what I need from Al.

Member here “Traffer”made a .377” push through sizer complete with home made ram for my 38-55 use. Works great!

Lee used to make custom sixers too. Might try them & see. Any good grinding outfit can take a lee sizer & open it up too.

I opened up my lee push throughs a couple thousands using sand paper wrapped around a dowel. Worked like a champ.

Like several others have said NOE has a bunch of different ones and a good turnaround.

I transitioned to the NOE system a while ago, mainly for the nose sizers, but then stocked up on body sizers as well.

Before that I used Lee and even ordered a couple custom ones for paper patching (muzzle loader) which worked well.

I have also opened up Lee sizers a little. I tried making one a 'lot' bigger and it turned out oblong.

Just an echo of what everyone else has said. NOE’s system is great!

I love the NOE sizers. I even use them for sizing jacketed .375 bullets down for my 9.3x57 Mauser.

Tom prefers orders by phone… he says e-mail orders get to be long and involved, but he can hear what you want via phone and get to work on it. I have three of his sizing dies for use in standard loading press, mine are spot on! I highly recommend his work.
