My .308 Hornady seating die was a bit tight for cast bullets, I called Hornady & asked if they had an alignment sleeve special for cast bullets & was told that they did not , I asked about ordering an extra.308sleeve to drill out & was told that it was hardened & was advised to talk to their custom die shop , the custom shop told me they could make me one for $65.00 & suggested that I sand out a .308w/ a dowel & emry cloth.
I asked to be reconnected with sales, while waiting I started thinking, when sales answered I asked if they had an alignment sleve for 303 British & if so what size it was, they did & it is .312 for $4.05 & the seating stem is $2.33, shipping & handling was $4.75 & for cast bullets it works great.

LOL some times they can be a touch dense

As I just got a set of Hornady 303 dies
I will have to figure out what sleve I can use
But I have lapping compound in the gardge if needed

Thanks
