    That is how I roll, But still use my r c b sizer For both. I don't know if it Will deform The previous bullet nose if I were To push through. I may have to try that. Certainly.It would work for all flat nose bullets. Spitzer's maybe not so good
    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    Another NOE sizer in an old Spartan boat anchor C press user. I do have two Lee push-through sizers I used to use with the Rockchucker, but NOE has a vast assortment of sizes so I don't have to do any polishing/reaming to get the diameter I want. A hair over beats too small every day.

    I also built a ramp out of a short section of PVC pipe so the bullets would slide down into the die. makes the operation much quicker but takes a bit of work to get the speed of the ram just right so they fall in the hole
    That’s awesome.
