I stumbled across Beagle's article about gas checking a .25 caliber RCBS plainbased cowboy boolit by running the base into a .244 sizer and using a 6.5 mm gas check.
I had another wild idea based on this and today the FedEx guy delivered my .284 Lyman sizer.
My goal was to make several .32 pistol boolits into gas checked models to shoot in a .30-30. I had great luck with the RCBS .32-98 and the Saeco #322. Hoping this one works for gas checking some and sizing them between .311-.314" for use in the .32 pistols I have.
Things have been real tight around here lately so had to pass on the group buy .32 NOE mould but may not need it now. These are .310". I pushed them into the .284 sizer and took off the base land. Once done with a batch of that, I switched to the .310" sizer, clicked on the gator-check and sized it. The ring of lead that was shaved off came up over the nose at this time. Now if they shoot!
Thanks Beagle for the great idea!
