Lee sizing die mods.
« on: July 16, 2004, 03:50:04 PM »
I have acess to several thousand rounds of .40 cal S & W brass that has been fired through Glocks.

A couple of years ago, I saw a modified Lee lead bullet push-through swaging die that was set up to re-size the bulge out of Glock-fired brass.

Is there anyone around here that can open up a Lee .410" sizing die to .425"?

Thanks for any help.

Lee will make you a custom size die for $25. That's the easy route. .410 to .425 is a lot farther than I would try to open one up. Two to three thous is about as far as I go. If .425 is the final size you want, you might want the die to be .423 to allow for springback.

You may not need the custom die. I dunno how big a bulge you are talking about or how tight your chambers are, but I'd shuck a few through a common .429 size die and see if they worked. Even if I were gonna size them down more, I'd use a .429 as a first step.
