I'm about to embark on yet another project: loading for the .50-70. The rifle is an original U.S. M1871 RB with a perfectly new bore, the grooves of which measure .3165. I'd like to find someone who can provide a sizer die of .517"/ .518" diameter (I could make one, but don't want to - time being the real problem). Buffalo Arms offers custom lube/sizer dies, but can't make one over .515", they say. Any help? Thanks:

I think you mean .5165"- sounds like a job for Buckshot!

Nope, I really meant .517"/.518", and would prefer the larger size.

Stillwell Tool & Die will make Lyman/RCBS sizing dies up to .520" as well as
Star sizing dies.

They will also enlarge any sizing die that you send them.

Here's the link to their website: http://www.sizingdie.com/

Hope this helps,

Buckshot can beat Stilwell's prices any day and the quality is superb.

And thank you, too! I've messaged Buckshot.
