Magma uses standard Star type dies with multi-holes. If you don't need them all, you clean them out & drop a birdshot in to plug the hole. You don't need a special die, any brand will do.

If you only need one row of lube holes consider getting the die with 3 rows. Your current boolit may only need 1 row but who knows what the future will bring. Next year, 5 years from now you get another mould that needs more than 1 row and you'll have to buy another .358" die. If you get this die with 3 rows all you need do is plug the un-needed holes with shot, need the holes in the future and just un-plug them.

Could get pricey if you need 2-3 dies in the same diameter just for the lube holes. :shock: Just a thought.

I have started having him put 5 holes per row, instead of the normal 3, in my large caliber dies. I feel like it helps in the lub fillout.

Lathesmith will make a special die for your boolit design. The people who say to plug the holes are correct but if you have more than one boolit in that diameter it becomes a PITA. I shoot CAS and had a boolit design that has a very large single lube groove. He made a special sizing and lube die that works great for that boolit and I'm not having to pick out lead, put lead back in and well you see the picture.
