RE: Sizing bullets - laowho - 12-31-2015

Bruce,

I hadn't considered this. I'll take my few fire formed cases and try the neck reamer I have to see whether they'll accept some non-sized Lyman 132s (the mould that seemed to require the greatest amount of .458 sizing). It'll provide me a starting point, first for using non-sized bullets (maybe at .002" over groove dia./.459), and who knows...maybe toward eventually seating w/o a die? Thanks, Doug

edit: Had a D'oh! moment last nite and tried an unsized bullet in one of the fired brasses and it slid in easily w/o the seating die. Go figure.
