I have been on the side lines a lot lattly here but looking into my next project. Anyone taking a .357 bullet and pushing it through a bullet sizer to end up with .355 bullets?

There should be no problem with that.

I recently took .358" moly coated lead and put them through a Lee .357" sizer with no issues. Slid right through without too much effort.

I size 0.311" and 0.312" jacketed bullets down to 0.309" with a Lee push through sizer all the time for use in my CZ-52, 7.62x25 caliber. A lot of the 32-revolver bullets work great in that cartridge just need a little size down first. Use the same lube on them that you use to full length resize brass an it will all work out just fine.

I'm sure you know this, but thought I'd mention it, when sizing beyond the norm always be sure to have lube in the groove. When you size a bullet the metal moves to another place. With lube in the grooves it prevents the metal from making the groove smaller.

Thanks guys I should have mentioned jacketed bullets. I noticed Lee only has .356 to size down to. Would this work for a 9MM?
