    .310 Lee push though sizing die

    Do they or did they make one? Not sure I want .311 or is that too close to matter on a 300 BLK?

    You could get a Lee .309" and then hone it out, not hard to do.

    my .309 push thru sizer actually sizes to .310 at least with my alloy. Easy to lap out if you want it a bit larger. just wrap a little 600 grit sandpaper around a drill bit and spin slowly till you get close then finish with some 1000 grit.

    You can have any size you want from Lee. It's only around 20$.

    With shipping and taxes mine came to $70.00.

    Edit: Mine was a custom sized die. Yes, I agree standard sizes shouldn't cost more than $20.

    I bought one a couple of weeks ago from Lee , I think it was about 17.00. I ordered it with a lot of other parts so the shipping was not too bad.

    And that takes into account the exact alloy THEY use.

    These dies pin out about .0005" below their advertised diameter, to account for springback.

    The same die will size the same boolit cast in 5 different alloys, and each will mic a different diameter after sizing.
    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

    DougGuy honed a Lee .454 push-through sized to .4555 for me to match up with the Webley MkVI revolver he uniformed the cylinder throats on. After having Tom at Accurate cut a mold to fit the old beast shoots like a target revolver and my expected 4-5" six-shot.50-yard groups are comparable to 25 yard groups experienced before the alterations.

    Whoa, I think you might have missed something there. From Titan reloading a sizer and punch is $8.99. Even a custom straight from Lee is only $16. Lee has been pretty good about keeping a bunch of sizers in stock lately. Unfortunately Titan doesn't have any in stock, but Lee has a .310" in stock.
