Sizing dies

Have you knurled the .503's up with some files?

The Fury’s are basically a .500 diameter bullet that is knurled up to a maximum of .503. I have not tried to knurl them even more. I have limited samples but when I do sort this out and order some they will be .503 diameter for sure. Perhaps at that point I could attempt to increase them a thou or so more.

Might try a couple wraps of Plummer’s tape (Teflon), just a thought.

Certainly worth a try. Cold weather forecast for Friday so if the planets align properly I should get a chance to have another go at it. Thanks for all the input from everyone.

I'm resizing my bullets to .503 also, found it a perfect fit for one of my Whitelignts and a little loose in the other (pink Teflon tape one time around makes everything good). Have fun and keep shooting safely.

Question,.... those of you that are sizing jacketed bullets or solid copper using a sizing lube, after sizing and wiping them clean with a cloth. Is there a benefit to completely degreasing them, using acetone or other solvents? I’m speaking of land riders.

Another great excuse for me to go to the range Sunday.

I do not know if there is a benefit or not but after sizing I always clean them of any lube. I just think I need them clean in the bore for everything to work right. Never tested them unclean.
