I have mostly Lee products in my reloading room, and want to stay with it as much as I can, mainly because I don't want to buy a lubrisizer for one caliber. I bought a Lyman 266469 mould for my 6.5 Creedmoor and cast some bullets today. I am now in need of a bullet sizing die that Lee does not make, and as said before I don't have the funds to buy a lubrisizer, especially for one caliber only.
So to my request; to all of you here who have the knowledge, with only a drill press for machinery, how would I go about honing a .243 bullet sizing die to .265? Can it be done simply on a drill press? What special tools will I need? Mind you this would be a one and done so I'm looking for the most inexpensive method possible. Before anyone asks I have good mechanical aptitude, and am good at understanding an explained procedure. I am just not well versed in machining techniques.
Looking at my conversion table, would it be prudent to get a die for .243 and use a 17/64" drill bit to increase diameter to just over .265? Just looking for the informed opinions I know we have here on the forums.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies.
