Default New Sizer

I got a new sizer die. The new one is a .496 for my paper patched 500 S&W bullets. I shot my new MK 85 and the bullets were super tight going down. It was very accurate but I wanted it to load a bit easier. I have an elk hunt that is coming up soon so I made up 50 rounds to shoot and go on the hunt. It is a very short 3 day hunt next week. it will be in the desert and this year our desert is hot and dry. I hope I get a chance to warm up the barrel on a young cow. Ron

Good Luck Ron! Is it a custom Lee sizer or where did you get a .496 sizing die?

Ive heard good things about them too. Dies are supposed to be nicely made. C4HD custom size dies are more than twice the price too.



Price including pushrod : $25.00

Price for top punch with flat: $10.00 (or to match bullet profile when ordered with a mold)

His website says he is still sick and not taking orders. I hate to bug the guy if he is ill.
