Powder Coating DRG Bullets?

My .357 die gives me .3565 measured on a micrometer. Works well on all of my 9mm's. Maybe try loading and shooting 50 or so and see how they perform before going through the trouble of opening it up. You can always open it up later, but you can't put it back after.

They won’t pay for the shipping to them but they’ll fix and return for free. But the shipping there is $20 while a new dies is $32. Soooo lapping it is.

Just out of curiosity, did you ask the point of sale if they would do an exchange without charge to you?

The oversize Saeco Lubrisizer die I have, the vendor said no problem to exchange it at their cost. But about the same time I realized that I had ended up with a .303 sizing die of a size Saeco/Redding didn't then and still doesn't offer, so I just bought another .314" sizing die. That one actually does drop bullets that measure at .314"

Discovering that I had a sizing die that was not of the size it was supposed to be spurred me to check all my sizing dies with pin gauges. With the exception of the .314" that was actually .3155", the rest were as marked.

McMaster-Carr and others (no doubt Evilbay and Amazon as well these days) will sell you individual pin gauges in half-thou increments if you want to just cover a narrow range of bore diameters rather than springing for an entire set of pin gauges that you don't need. They ran a little under $4/each when I bought my handful way back when.
