I have a RCBS jr2 reloading press. Would that have sufficient strength if I were to resize bullets approximately .006 to .008 smaller?
I could resize in two steps of about .004 each time.

I don't know what the Jr press will do. I am able to say it takes some pressure to get even .001" sized down. Using the CH sizer I have to get after it to resize the .451" TMZ to .450"
 
RB are you using a .449 size die? Also does one pass through do the job or does it take a couple and what type of lube do you use? Thanks

I'm using a .450 die and so far I've used wax and Crisco. I have tried machine oil as well. I don't claim it's very hard to push but I have to use some efort.
