The stem clips into the ram in place of a shell holder, comes with the die.

That makes more sense. Thanks

 

[Why not?]

The stem clips into the ram in place of a shell holder, comes with the die. I use Lee resizing lubricant on the bullets, it worked a little better than Imperial. Hornady bullets seemed harder to resize than Speer, maybe harder lead? Bullets come out the top right at.366".

Did you get it from Higginsons?

.366 is probably special order direct from Lee only. I got a special order sizer die few years ago, was about USD50 shipped.

 

[rombat]

It was a special order direct from Lee. Die has 366 stamped on it.

thank you very much.

I made my own die. Rusty Wood can order the die but it takes several months for the special order

 

[jethunter]

I think I remember seeing on the Lee website last summer that special order sales were suspended.

Yup .... I looked there yesterday after reading about the TOOL.

The 235gr Speer bullet before and after.

 

[rombat]

The 270gr Hornady was much harder to size and the lead tip moved out a bit.

Hornady 270gr? Didn't know there was such a thing.

 

[rombat]

Hornady #3711 I think.

 

[303brt]

have you looked at NOE? They're sizing system works much like the Lee sizers, just with a lot more size options.

That suggests poor to non-existent jacket to core bonding.

 

[mbogo3]

That's Hornady IL. these days..........they used to be great.

 

[Why not?]

They are about the poorest heavy 9.3 bullet available. Come apart on game even at low velocity and when no bone hit.

Dead animal perhaps, but always lots of bloodshot and jellied meat.

Medvedqc calls them plinking bullets, and he’s right.

If we're referring to the 9.3mmr 286 Hornady, it performs more like a varmint bullet than a big game bullet.

Yep! As posted above, medvedqc calls it a plinking bullet.

It is not reliable in the 9.3X57, and Remington was foolish enough to load it in their 9.3X62 hunting ammo.

Jethunter,

Would it be possible for you to post a picture of the 9.3mm bullet you sell? Or the mould number if it was made by Tom at Accurate?

It's the NOE mold. Great shooting bullet, but the gas check shank is about .002" larger than it should be, so fitting the gas check is a multi step process and PIA. Will be replacing it with something more usable in 2021.
