.... of everything i need to size boolits!

from my reading the 10mm likes hard lube best.

ive looked thru all the get started threads and there is so much equipment listed and turns into debates about the brand, etc...

so what equipment do i need to size a boolit to the required .dia?

i have a single stage press, gas check boolit, if it is relevant?

$ Lee push through size die,
$$ Lyman 45, 450, 4500 or other makers equivalant.
$$$ Star

The last two listed are lubrisizers if you are pan lubing or tumble lubing the Lee is the least expensive way to get into sizing. So it depends of how many $ you wish to spend.

To just size bullets, get you a lube-sizer(Lyman, RCBS, Saeco, STar, etc) WITH a heater, some hard lube, and the right top punch and sizer die, and start sizing. Simple,no?

Redding lube and sized formerly Saeco. They are built like a tank and will last forever.

I shoot 10mm in my two Witness pistols. I cast 175 Gr SWC bullets, and when I size them, I pass them through a lee sizer. I use LLA as the lube.

Total cost to get started? about $40.00. Lee two cavity mold + Lee Sizer kit. I have since added a 6 cavity mold as well.

I use isotope lead that run a BHN of 10.5 air cooled, and near 30 water dropped. I only water drop for max loads.
